Skug Discoveries


How do I know it is spring? 
While on a trail run, I ate a small flying insect.

Today the Skug River Trail was swarming with growth and green.  I stopped a lot on my run, kneeled in the wet mush, soiled my knees, tuned my camera to macro and started clicking.

While some folks try to skirt a flooded trail, 
I decided the best approach was 
to pass directly through the drink:

Wow!! great photos and video...I felt myself strangely attracted to the bark breast..........those eggs seem really strange and unprotected from pedators. I wonder what animal they are from?

Yeah, looks like a tough spot. If you could get over on river-left, maybe you could boof that pourover moving a little right, pointing a little left and try to get through the shoulder of that hole. Or maybe far river-right there's a weak spot you could get through. The problem is, all the water is trying to push you into the hole, and it doesn't look punchable. It's hard to really say what your choices are without seeing the lead-in though. Down the center might even be viable. I mean, it's 50/50 that thing's gonna flip you, but it doesn't look there's a whole lot of backwash downstream so you probably wouldn't get too badly worked. And of course, it's all really hard to tell without video at least. That said, I think I'd probably walk it. At the very least I'd watch what happened to some others before deciding if I was going to do it myself.
