| Hi Val, You might want to also post over at The Seed Exchange on the Conversation side, as there is a lot more traffic member who post there. Anywho...I am rock 'person' anyway though not really much of a hound. Yesterday at a friend's we got me some rocks from her creek. I was wanting a few flatter ones to use for a little stepping stone path through a bed, and was amazed at all of the wonderful varieties and shapes there were. It was hard to find a quitting point as far as picking ones I wanted, knowing I could only haul so many safely in the Jeep....will get pic later. I expressed my concern about the legality of removing rocks from one's own creekbed, and was told they had had not one but 2 100 year floods in the past few years (not sure how many) and that with each flood, the rocks would be flowing down the creek.
I just checked on line (Google) about the legality of removing rocks from one's creek and could not find anything. I am sure one should never take so many as to alter the path of a creek, but would sure like to know what the law concerning this reads. Maybe I will check later with the local Hardy Lake Reservoir Manager...I imagine he can give me the scoop on things. Oh...it was so much fun yesterday wading in the creek on a warm but slightly rainy day. I also got a Korean Dogwood tree I found growing under a massive one that was in full bloom right now. I read where it blooms for about 6 weeks in June and July. Sue |
