Mush

I checked out the creek. There’s still way too much water, but I did find a spot where there was some exposed ground and relatively shallow water around it. It was very soft. Mostly clay, some silt. Very sticky!

Clay has this property called plasticity. When mixed with water it has almost no texture. It takes a while to get thinned out because it’s a bit slow at absorbing the water… I didn’t want to be there all day because there’s nowhere to park without blocking part of the road.

Then I get stopped by a lonely cop on the way home… I guess there was a party nearby and he was checking for drunken idiots. He was very polite and didn’t give me a hard time, so all is well.

I’m mapping out other places that are fed from the same river as this creek is. There’s some crown land I can get to and some other less-populated dirt roads nearby to check out. Yay!
