In this week’s Water Closet, Pike provides a graphic description of a magnificent raptor catching and swallowing its unfortunate prey. it is a lesson in how nature has endowed some predators with the optimum anatomy and skills to survive in the wilderness.
MEANDERING ON THE IPSWICH RIVER
In this weeks Water Closet, Pike tells about a recent trip along the Ipswich River with fellow Stream Teamers. Pike notes the impact of the resurgent beaver population in changing the landscape of the river flood plane which likely would not be apparent to those who do not venture onto the river. Hopefully the article will inspire people to appreciate the beauty of the river and its surround as a sanctuary from our man made world and make them want to preserve it for future generations..

Once again, Pike relates a fascinating story from Arthur McKee about a traveling experience that Arthur had in August, 1983 while driving through the Great Basin’s mountains and plains in a van with other profs and grad students from Oregon State University. They encounter a seemingly impassible lake that has flooded the highway in front of them only to witness a pickup truck do what they would have thought to be an impossible drive across the lake. The secret of how the pickup truck is able to drive across the lake will surprise readers.
