The seeps and headwaters that feed Appalachia's rivers and streams, such as Scott Run in Coopers Rock State Forest (above), are key to the local ecosystem’s ability to absorb, hold, and distribute water, control flooding, and maintain high quality habitat for the region’s incredible biodiversity. These source waters are the most vulnerable hydrologic features of the mountains, the first to be adversely impacted by mining and deforestation. Despite Appalachia's long struggle with devastating flooding and degraded water quality, work is underway in many parts of the region to restore previously-impaired lands and headwaters. That’s good news for this chubby Allegheny Mountain Dusky Salamander (bottom photo), which this past Saturday was busy with spring mating duties in one of the headwaters of Scott Run.

Overflowing Sunset by Theresa Rose Via Flickr: "Overflowing Sunset:" I captured this image last week at the Headwaters of the Verde River north of Prescott after some high-volume rain and snow-melt had filled up the normally dry Sullivan Lake and caused a raging waterfall to cascade over the dam. Part of a dormant bush growing out of a crack in the wall toward the right of the dam was turned frosty white from all the cold water spray and reminded me of hoarfrost I had previously seen only a couple times before on very cold mornings. The lichen pattern on the rocks on the left also caught my eye. Of course, I wanted to include this gorgeous sunset to cap it off.

Into the Sawtooth

Headwaters of the Queens River – Sawtooth Wilderness I did a backpacking trip back in early August. I’ll have to upload the story and photos when I get a chance. It was supposed to be an 8 day trip, but was cut in half due to some difficulties. You’ll have to wait to find out just what happened!

the long quiet: so... this is my full potential?

the shifting mound: yes.

the long quiet: so, then it's all downhill from here.

the long quiet: like the narrator.

the shifting mound: i do not know what this narrator is. but they sound disappointing.

#slay the princess #the narrator #the long quiet #the shifting mound #the shifting mound and the princess are different to me. it's like an independent river versus its headwater or something #the long quiet though i perceive as basically the same throughout #i mean the voices exist yeah but you (as the player; the long quiet) are pretty much unaffected and have to leave them behind every time yo #get to the mirror while the shifting mound integrates her variants into her #which is fitting given the stagnation vs change thing they got goin on #OH UH YEAH this quote is also mostly based on my headcanons so- #shifting quiet

Headwaters Forest Reserve, California

Last "ThickTrunkThursday", I headed out to the closest patch of old growth redwoods. It does take a 5 mile hike to get there, much of it along the river and a bit lined with striking fetid adderstongue flowers.

So there are some perks to living in a tourist destination. There are a lot of detractors mostly that you cannot shoot the tourists because you rely on them for your income but you have a semi captive audience with no context for any of the bullshit you spew. You can tell these people anything and they will believe you, the trusted friendly local. Now this is a very much Spider-Man situation where Great Power begets Great Audacity and even worse Responsibility.

My buddy goes on a run and when hes done there is a bar near a creek. So he wades into the creek because the day is hot and the water is cold.

Tourists ask what hes up to, with his running stuff he didn't want wet piled on the shore and him very obviously cooling off in the water. He says he's fishing.

But now here is why I am telling you this story. The universe occasionally aligns in such a way that we get to really really fuck with people and their perception of said universe. The opportunities do not come often and when they come you must seize the day. This is what my buddy did.

So this Creek runs through town and as a result of the highway and neighborhoods and culverts and roads it does not have a great salmon run. It's a short Creek the headwaters are only a few miles from the ocean it never had a great salmon run to begin with. But there are salmon.

One such fish brushes past my buddy's leg. Immediately he knees the fish like he is juggling a soccer ball and pops it out of the water, then slaps it out of the air on to the shore.

This is dumb luck. He could not do this again if he spent years training. Noodling (catching fish with your hands) is a thing that is legal to do with salmon but it is so much harder than literally every other way to catch salmon, including grabbing them with a garbage can. What he just managed is the kind of thing that should make you want to grab the fish and swing it around your head like a stripper with her panties off.

But,

He has an audience.

This is the opportunity offered by the universe.

He plays it cool.

He puts on dead pan straight face on and wades up to shore to grab his fish and nod to the tourists. Someone asks something and he assures them this is the standard way to get a quick dinner here. The tour guide has caught up with his group. He looks at my buddy and his fish and the general lack of fishing accoutrement. Without missing a beat, the guide backs up every ounce of bullshit out of my buddys mouth because if there is one true fraternity it is locals bullshitting stupid tourists.
