We are off! Walking the #endangeredriver where it's dry. W @riverkatz from @riversforchange http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqmfSV7CYAAI-oH.jpg
Please don't be foreshadowing.... Still walking along #endangeredriver and it still has some water in it. Weird .. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqmjiVZCcAEtCUv.jpg
"Peek a boo" says @riverkatz ... Not for long from the looks of it #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqmnCEfCIAA8eUR.jpg
This is where the water ends. Wow. Crazy to be standing here. #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqmnF9hCMAANMjD.jpg
Nothing left here. Can't quit thinking about the magnificent headwaters #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9ZATCIAAjmSx.jpg
This is the second biggest river in California. Once home to a vibrant salmon population. Tapped out #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9dWcCMAA-Isz.jpg
No good news up ahead. Feels like walikg on a beach. Crunching along. So damn hot. #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9ed_CIAAvdUw.jpg
Yeah so this is a river ... #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9j1hCUAAl6M3.jpg
This is so crazy #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9mQVCUAAnPNr.jpg
Former reaident. Cicadas sound like tinnitus. Willow seeds hitting my face like snow. Sun is SO HOT #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9nSdCYAIBb0i.jpg
Dragging this little watercraft across the dry riverbed to prove navigability. That work @agleader ? :) cc @riverkatz http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqm9vIiCQAAkDX-.jpg
River for sale. Anyone? Anyone? #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqn4QocCIAE49C3.jpg
Purple clouds. Hearing owls. Maybe one will guide me Harry Potter style. Getting dark but a few miles to go today http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqn6n9iCMAE_OT_.jpg
There's the owl ... http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqn8byMCAAEusmP.jpg
Ok this is totally a river again, but pretty sure ppl own land beneath it bec it doesn't connect. #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqsDsqACMAA4JSs.jpg
This guy (@farming2sustain ) saw in twitter that I'm walking the dry section of the San Joaquin River… instagram.com
I learned a lot at the wildlife refuge, including that the land is so salty (read: bad for farming) it shows up. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqxhvDZCAAAf35M.jpg
Here's a look at the canal that brought the harmful selenium into a series of pools #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqxicsNCEAADhaV.jpg
Also told this is a natural part of the canal. Does add to the spooky, Breaking Bad feel of place #endangeredriver http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqxjBzYCUAA3n6o.jpg
In happier news, I also saw a herd of Tule Elk, which are endemic to California. Smaller than others, helps w/heat. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqxjXLVCYAAnPQx.jpg
Minor war wounds from walking #endangeredriver with @jdsutter and @RiversforChange . Happy to paddle again tomorrow! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bqxyt9-CUAEir1p.jpg
