We have had 2 thaws in January 2018 and one of the best ways to catalogue and add info on each shot is through a blog.
As shown in these pictures the source of sediment is south of Isle Vista. Shoreline eroding badly and high water on the 23rd is allowing runoff from farm.

Looking down from Isle Vista Bridge
Walked down to talk to Neighbor on south side of Parkette who backs onto the creek. Seems the Diesel Powered Beaver has been taking down trees along the shoreline. Neighbor said this was done at midnight as woke her up. The following shots show this action and the high water.

| This neighbor was glad he had a new rock shoreline done but now knows more rocks required on top required |

| As of this pic water has slowed but with more rain and warm temps residents are concerned massive ice chunks in creek will flow and block mouth |
