Scoured

In a stretch of the Bella Coola River near where we live, we noticed a cluster of large new boulders in the river last week.  Closer examination revealed that the very tops of these rocks had a bit of old moss on them, so prior to the Great Flood of 2010, these rocks were not very obvious, just the tops were exposed. It's a new feature now, with almost a metre of river gravel swept downstream to be deposited somewhere else.  There are lots of other places in the river system where dramatic changes took place during the flood and we will now have a different river system to get used to.   Grizzly
