The Creek Is Flooding!!!! K so it started flooding a little bit last night i has barley come over the bank but it still hasn't happened in a long long time. Due to the roots in the soil i don't think it will be that big of a problem to stop the erosion but other than that it is kinda cool to watch. There are Evan rapids i guess me and Tait won't be floating anytime soon. The what is so murky with sediment we couldn't tell if there was a rock in front us anyway. The water is moving extremely fast so fast that the ducks have stopped floating down it. there has also been huge branches floating down implying erosion further up stream. there is also a concrete dam up stream what would happen if the fast current broke it or eroded it away?? Will my backyard be half it's size? how many homes will be effected by this?

Fantastic connections made to biodiversity, erosion and other ecological concepts! As your observations have progressed you have really improved your postings and focus of your observations. The only thing keeping you from getting an "A" on all of your postings is the grammar, and sometimes the slipping into casual language. Keep everything in formal, scientific language!
