Duplicating Sara's shots from my perspective

I, too, went up Caribou Rd. to see the diversion of the North Fork of the Feather River for the rebuilding of the weir.  I'd seen photos Brenda took in full sunlight, which really helps show what one is looking at, especially if you're familiar with the area.  I put these up for Jeffery and all our friends who will see what's happening.

I also helped pick apples, so although Sara put her photos of the event on Facebook, I thought she might enjoy seeing my few different ones, plus, my album will benefit from the memories of good times with loved ones.

The view of the empty creek at the weir, with Gansner Bar Campground in the background

The demolished weir with spill floats

The same view as before, only closer up.  The muddy run in mid-foreground is where the "creek" flows.
In the mid-background is the flowing water in the canal they built to temporarily divert the creek.

below the weir, the diverted creek comes in way downstream from normal

above the weir a little ways, the North Fork is "gone"

looking across the campground to where big black water tubes divert the creek upstream of the canal

this gives scale to the operation; at least somewhat.

closer still

Sara and I had a nice lunch, took some home, and saw Kristine; so, a great outing all told!

Sara picks apples from the Fuji Tree

Several branches were like this; apples strung thick along the branch like grape bunches

Sara, Ed, and James help me pack away a supply for winter.

Still have lots more apples left on the tree.  I had fresh-made apple sauce for dinner.
