Wrapping up...

Hi all-
I meant to keep this blog current... however, I'm sure you have been busy just as I have with your internships this summer and can understand why it's been a while! I hope that each of you has been having a great summer and a rewarding internship experience.

Toshi was here last week and the week before. It was wonderful to have his help... we were able to accomplish a great deal. He assisted Jim and I in finishing collecting sediment samples from Harley Gulch. We monitored water quality in Harley Gulch and Bear Creek and took sediment samples from the upper reach of Davis Creek.

This week and early next week I will be wrapping up my sampling. Tomorrow Jim and I will be escorted by a law enforcement officer to the lower reach of Davis Creek. The area is still under surveillance for marijuana gardens and we're not meant to go in there by ourselves. We will be collecting sediment samples tomorrow and hopefully be able to get back in there to do some water quality monitoring on Thursday.

Unfortunately it hasn't been possible to collect soil samples from the Harley Gulch delta this summer, but Jim assures me the work will be done in the fall.

If anyone has any questions/comments/concerns that would best be addressed while I'm up here, please let me know so I can take care of it before I leave!

See you all in about a month!
