The waters of the Elwha River run gray these days.  It's not merely a reflection of an overcast sky, the water is full of silt that built up behind a dam that was removed a couple of years ago.  I love the fact that dams are starting to disappear in the NorthWest.  I've heard they're considering removing the dams on the Klamath River as well.  I hope that happens. It's nice to think that at least some of the damage we've done to the environment can be undone.
