Speaking of respecting Mother nature....

This was the beach we found at our former favorite cliff jumping spot. Compare to the two pictures below and see one small sample of what a spring flood can do. This is only sand. There were places along the Cowlitz river where whole bars of boulders had been moved from one side of the river to another. Trees had been uprooted. The bridge crossing the river was cracked clear through (probably by an uprooted tree? Boulder?) causing the road leading to the bridge to be closed.
