No; I was still living in the Bay Area. It was during XMas vacation, and I had to go to campus cuz we were running an experiment that required attention. Crossing the Bay Bridge, I remember seeing a sharply-defined river of mud coming down from the Delta, and then out the Golden Gate. There's a sign on 101 showing the Eel's high water mark; pretty impressive. Our first two stops on the auto tour were at F.K. Lane Grove for a short walk and High water mark at top of pole Bollling Grove where the Humboldt Park began. Then we continued a bit further to Weott, another stop along the Avenue of the Giants. Weott, once a bustling town, was devastated by a flood in 1964. The flood waters, caused from 32 inches of warm rain falling in three days which melted the snow pack on nearby mountains, raged 33 feet overhead. During the flood, about thirty miles downstream from Weott in Fernbridge, the river’s flow was greater than the average flow of the Mississippi and Columbia Rivers combined! adventuresofacouchsurfer.wordpress.com Garbageville is an hour north of me. There was a big slide between us, and we were isolated for a period of time.
