Notes

THE TERRAIN IS VERY UNSAFE. THIS SITE CAN NOT BE ACCESSED WITHOUT PROPER GUIDANCE. The terrain is snow covered with approx., 1 meter of snowpack. The left and right banks snow escarpments are hard packed, and unstable. The water is flowing under left bank and has created an overflow approx. a meter wide. The area is unsafe for anyone to enter unless you are trained in snow and ice readiness, survival, ad safety awareness and working near water in winter. ONLY GO WITH KIKI. She is certified.
Ice on the water surface. Park/Recreation is a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
Water colour: Orange. No sign of wildlife. There was one pine siskin heard and spotted. The river is split into two, there is much overflow and ice. The clay cliff looks as if it had a slide.
