So far, the toxicity levels on the river itself are good. There is some silt behind a couple of the downstream dams that is elevated, but the river flows a lot of water so it tends to keep it very dispersed.

I've eaten more than a few fish from the reach, or that have passed through. I'd have eaten peaches from that orchard had they been ready when I was there.

It has been fun. This place is almost mystical to me. I can't even really explain it. It just is. I'm really glad I took some time there this trip. Next time I will go to the other end of the reach...
