This looks like it was a good water year. There were a few years when it was just a trickle.
My Mom and Dad were from Thomas and would go on dates there. And in the 20's my Dad's first job was with the forestry there on some program of Roosevelts.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
