Pearrygin Creek overflow

I wish we could say we had our own helicopter at the Methow Valley News, but I guess we have the next best thing: knowing someone who has one. Local pilot John O'Keefe went flying around Pearrygin Creek last Thursday for a bird's eye view of the destructive aftermath from the swollen tributary's crazy leap out of its channel – what a mess!
John believes the whole thing started on the forested west side of Tripod Peak. Thanks for the photos and report, John.

The starting zone on Tripod.

The deposition zone.

Love that muddy water.
