A rare snow in the redwoods. Of course, once you step more than 5 feet into/under the canopy, no snow can reach the ground. In closer studying of the Redwood Tree, they have uncovered & documented an amazing array of life - from fallen tree to the tippy-top of still-growing trees. The rain forests in tropical zones have been better studied than our own coastal redwoods - a temperate rain forest. The first report I've heard on the fall salmon run (Nov '09 to Jan '10) is good - lots of them !! This report is on the Van Duzen River salmon. I have not heard yet on the Delta salmon population and their return statistics (spawning salmon). We've had lots of decent rain the last several weeks - and two noticeable earthquakes as well - and its good to see the Eel so full .... its been a few years. Glenna was also glad to get out of the house, into the car and on to the forest.
