Carbon River Watershed...

Of course I was/am excited about researching the Carbon River because its so been in the news about flooding and the NPS at Rainier or Tahoma/Ta-coh-bet to the rest of us....and there is info out there about the flooding and the history of logging and coal mines....but it is not a major watershed, not like the Nisqually or White River or the Puyallup...its nested in the Northern Puyallup watershed and trying to get separate data for the Carbon River area is piece meal at best and etherial at its apex....

Looking at the small ponds joining to make a swamp in my front yard (2 acres)...I can see why water flooding and disturbances are an issue...so piecing in Pierce County I go...one bit here one bit there and walla (not as is walla walla) you have a larger bit of data to work with. And in the Spirit of Evergreen...here is the opportunity to bond body/mind/soul to your project...

Don't forget to get in your birdie drawings, your reading, your species reports and meetings and prepare for more data to be infused so that just when you think you cannot put one more iota of info in...it starts to make sense and you get it...clever these instructors they are, very clever....

so campers as you wade through your lawn and garden, look down and the ground and notice the tips of bulbs coming out of the ground...soon there will be flowers and sunshine!
