More pounds than plants.
On a lighter note, Redwood Creek has gone underground in spots. Sorry, not a very light note. I am not sure if it is caused by diversion or the fact that the DROUHT is really bad.
Both
I’m not sure what area of Redwood Creek you’re talking about but if you Google Map the area of that recent bust (erroneously called Sabertooth Rd) you will see many large scenes. Weird how they left them all alone while only pulling down the one. Who can describe the strategy or rationale of these busts? On the other hand…Redwood Creek flowed nearly dry in spots of that stretch back in drier years of the 90’s before the proliferation of grows out there. And some of those folks store their water in winter. So I’m guessing it’s a mixture of causes.
Briceland, the creek runs low in good years.
VanDuzen is gone by 101.
It usually is by August or September even in good years. Huge sediment load for all the well-known reasons, plus the severe drought.
East branch has been dry for weeks.
In 1964 South Fork stopped flowing at Meyers Flat, that was the summer before the flood.
Thanks Ernie, that is an important bit of information I did not know before yet is very important in terms of understanding where we are now.
They keep finding these huge amounts of “processed marijuana.” Do you suppose they really mean bud, or is this just garbage bags of trim someone was too lazy to compost?
possibly light dep.
I always wonder if, by “pounds”, they mean a ready to sell pound. I assume not, even when they say “processed”. I’m sure the big numbers make it easier to get more funding.
It’s kinda silly shouldn’t these sheriff’s and fish and game maybe be helping out with all the crazy ass fires it was raining ash in garberville today we are literally surrounded by fire at this point just a thought
I am in agreement with the idea that there are plenty of “Bigger Fish” to worry about. Not impressed with departments laziness
