Day 5- Cache la Poudre

Cache la Poudre “hide the powder” River

What? I’m not sure, but that’s where we were today, exploring the various edge conditions along the river, and designing interventions to fix erosion problems, plan for support of more plant life, and allow greater human access to the river while maintaining the health of the river.

This is the Poudre River:

And this is an example of what erosion does to the vegetation when not checked:

Here’s a few fun shots just for kicks,

And Dr. Rodiek laying the smack down on human use and wise planning principles

Here’s a shot of Che-Chia, working some kinda deck planning magic over there,

Che-Chia trying to catch a trout with the tape measure,

Here’s a group picture- MLA a la poudre, or you could say ‘friends of the Poudre’ :)

And, my friends, another jewel for the collection.

It’s been a long day, and I must say goodnight.

Goodnight.
