RE: Travels With Connie #63 The Hanford Reach
It sounds lovely, but not sure I'd eat that salmon or those fruit, is it safe? I guess it just sounds scary.
It also sounds like you are having a fun adventure and that is always good.
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...
