Three Rivers is an insulated town.
From the outside you just don't hear of much going on here, and even on
the inside we don't hear many details. There is a diversion for hydro
on the
East Fork of the Kaweah. It's
ancient and I'd assume it's been in use since it was installed. This
year Southern California Edison has been spending a lot of money to
refurbish it. For a few months that means a helicopter flying every day
and work crews up and down the road that we also happen to bike on. I'm
curious to see if this will affect flows on the EFK this year, or the
diversion will be the same as before but with less lost to leaks?
California also received it's first real storm of the year.
Unfortunately it hit north of us, and even up there was mostly rain and
only snow at the highest elevations. It's still too soon to tell if we
will have any snow and a season this year, but it could change any day
as it only takes one or two big storms to bring our snowpack to normal
levels. Fingers crossed.
Months of dust washed away in
our first big rainstorm. Ben Carter seal launches into the Kyburz
