August is almost gone. It has been an eventful month, so far.



Early August was a visit from Sid, Sandra, George, Rosanna, Nina and Alex. Also Bill and Diana. Bill and Diana are here again for a high school reunion (for Diana, Corvallis High School).

It was at Corvallis High School that Diana received a scholarship for four years at Oregon State University.



Jim Tice left me a message on my answering machine that he was going to remove those big logs from the swimming hole. By the time Judi and I drove out there, he was gone, and the logs were on the land. I think I have figured out how they got there. See what you think of the following:

The holding tanks were emptied during the time the water is normally high. This would make the stream even higher. I'm pretty sure the tanks are filled with sediment and have to be cleaned out. Sometimes it has been done in the summer, and a rush of water comes down . I have seen it in the past. If this was done in the winter, it would certainly result in an abnormal flow of water, and hence dislodge those giant logs.



Any comments?
