Global Warming or King Tides?


I took this picture while hiking Horseshoe Creek on January 22nd. I have never seen this bench wiped out in the 6 years Ihave been hiking this beautiful trail, which is located at mile marker 38.4 on WA Highway 542 (Sunset Highway). The NookSack was incredibly full that day, but I still saw one crazy river Kayaker (unusual in January!) plunging down the surging currents amidst the boulders. He looked completely happy and confident. I was above the river when I first saw him, and so followed with my eyes as far as I could. He got caught in one whirlpool, did a 360 and shot right on out of it with no more hesitation or concern than I give to a muddy trail.
