22 Mar The gorge to inject the deeper pools. we found
many (4) w/ beautiful waterfalls and holes in
the stone. The pools on average were 10' wide and
4-5' deep. They were cleared cold. Black Phoebes
were territorially displaying at the rocky edge
of the pools they gave sharp "cheep" and another
would fly in from 10' above dive bombing
Chris and I sat waist deep in a pool and
ate lunch (Burrito, Beans, Bacon, tomato and lettuce)
Candy and Chocolate Chips). Then we climbed
up the gorge until ~1:30pm then climbed out
of the gorge and walked 5 back to the Road.
Then we met Ken, Liz & Bob and we took another
dip in the man-made pool. It was all quite
refreshing. The gorge was lined with Bachman willow,
willowy branches and long leaves I recognized say
spanios, Beechn's Wrens and Orange-crowned
Warblers today. Then we may 55 call at station Pool
