It has been up to 70 degrees here the last couple days. That melts the snow. The hill behind the house is 4,700 feet tall. A couple days ago there was snow down to around 4,000. Now there is barely any clear up to the top. The reservoir is dang near full so the dam man has been dumping 650 cfs. That is a lot of water. Add in all the creek that run in between here and 30 miles up stream to the reservoir. The river is right at the top of the bank and rocking and rolling.
My brilliant neighbor added 4 strands of wire across the river. Then he added a mesh panel to the wire in the middle of the river. Of course all the wood coming down stream is hanging up on this now. My side of the river I had found an old steel wheel with about 5 feet of axial. Laid the wheel on the ground with the axial point up for a post and stacked rock on the wheel. I was worried the neighbors stuff was going to pull my old wheel rock jack into the river. That would be a witch to pull back out once the water goes down. So I cut the wire. Better to have to splice the wire after the river goes down in a month or two than to have the river tear it all out.
Just up stream 100 feet or so there are some cottonwood trees that a beaver fell. The ones that fell into the river are still there but have moved a lot. They break lose it will be good bye river fence. Maybe good bye river fences down stream if they make it that far.
