Notes

Beaver still flooding the area. It was not clear like last time but there has not been any rain to wash away the decomposition that is occurring downstream. Dog Park - pet pollution is a pollution sources in the immediate surroundings. There is lose dogs all over the park. We were approached by 4 dogs and did not see a owner in site for awhile. People are scared of dogs would have been very scared in this moment. Three of the dogs surrounded me and were smelling me. I am familiar with dogs but others are not.
