“Take me back down where cool water flows..”

            “Oh, let me remember things I love
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, oh
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River”

Happy 55th CCR

The Green River flows downstream through layers deposited 240 million years ago when a tidal flat covered the area. The surface of the river on this section is often flat and calm, inspiring JW Powell to call it Stillwater Canyon, though on this day a stiff northerly wind was ruffling the surface. On the banks of the river are red stems of tamarisk, an invasive shrub/ tree native to Eurasia. In the distance the red Wingate sandstone arms of Steer Mesa catch a bit of sunlight shining through the clouds. In the other direction the White Rim road winds its way 10 miles through the often muddy bottomland adjacent to the river to the exit from the canyon at Mineral Bottom Road.
