Mill Creek Flood March 2017 and after



1. Makshift fix to bridge We need to cross the bridge safely without having to cling with two hands to the tenuous handrail. I devise a way to level the bridge deck.
150 _17Feb25-nmf_1325 Cable from tower...	151 _17Feb25-nmf_1325a ...to huge recently-downed tree.	150 _17Feb25-nmf_1324 Now we can cross without being pitched from the deck.


2. April - water has dropped to normal This is normal flow for the season but nothing is normal about the creek ravine.
134 _17Apr08-nm_1019	135 _17Apr08-nm_1020	136 _17Apr08-nm_1020a The stream course is radically, improbably altered from a straight line.


3. June 2017 - Clearing the debris A session at a time I being to clear the new "island".
189 _17Jun04-nm_1203 This is progressing faster than I expected. In 2006 it took me a whole year.	190 _17Jun04-nm_1204 The huge pieces will be last. Those fallen leaning alders have to come out first.	203 _17Jun24-nm_1555
204 _17Jun24-nm_1556	204 _17Jun24-nm_1557


4. August 2017 - On toward restoration
205 _17Jun24-nm_1558	149 _17Aug05-nm_0910 Some pieces are pretty big.	150 _17Aug19-nm_0932 At last, an improvised temporary support for the dangling post.
