The Poster session was a heavily attended, catered event that ran until 9:00 and wasn’t slowing down when we sneaked out. Salmon people really know how to party and the image of a tipsy Michael Pollock wearing a beaver hat and making his way around the hall will probably make me smile for weeks. I made a few exciting contacts, the fish and wildlife warden from Lagunitas Creek in Marin that can’t wait until they have beavers, the woman who saw a beaver chew on the Navarro and the officer from Mendocino County that bemoaned never having beavers on the Navarro. (ahem), someone who loved my talk wednesday and is coming to hear me again this morning, and a caltrans worker in Contra Costa who was trying to figure out how to keep a beaver along 680.
This morning it’s off to Riley’s seminar on urban stream restoration while Jon checks out of our haven away from home and takes the dog for a walk. And then we hit the road, following 101 until it makes friends with 680 again. See you soon!
