Earlier this week I went up into the mountains to scout out locations, hopefully to find some wildlife and see what was available to shoot. I did want to check a trail that had just opened for the season. I took this shot along the way, but when I got to the trailhead about 20km back up the mountain and went to the river crossing I noticed it was running very fast and muddy. I found out a few days later that because of retreating glacier a debris flow of bolders, dirt and trees had collapsed into the area about 100m away from where I was...The warning issued was...If you feel the ground rumbling, and hear the sound of a freight train...get out of the area.

Oh wow. Really liking this one Scott! that moss covered tree is such a cool subject. I wish I had stuff like that here.
What he said...the moss covered things make such cool subjects.
This is the story that goes along with that incident on the river...the say the flow was 150' wide and 30' deep http://mbvrc.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/more-debris-flows-in-middle-fork/
If I probably would've tried the area up the road and tried to cross over the trail I probably would've just been sucked deep into the mud.
