    Punchbowl Falls

    Because this visit was in the summer season and the water was not flowing heavily, one could have hypothesized that the area would consist of smaller pieces of sediment due to the creeks lack of energy great enough to move the large rocks that make up most of the creek bed. The presence of these rocks in the creek suggests that the hydraulic action of Eagle Creek increases significantly during the Spring and Winter months, perhaps due to heavy rainfall and snowmelt that lead to heavy flooding and further erosion. Eagle Creek and other similar system positioned along the Columbia River Gorge play an important role in the transportation of sediment from mountain ranges to the ocean. Downstream from Punchbowl Falls Eagle Creek meets the Columbia River, suggesting that sediment transportation is present. The eroded walls previously discussed break off and when conditions are right they are eventually pushed downstream, most likely in the rainier months, until they are deposited into the Pacific Ocean by way of the Columbia River.…

    Managing to break free from the first set of waves, I pushed forth into the next set of unceasing five foot waves. With legs bent upwards and arms plunging one after the other in a Michael Phelps mentality to finish the race with swift strokes, I kept my body centered in the middle of my seven foot board just like my grandpa positioned me to do so. With a split second to pause and raise my head to look over an oncoming wave, I made out the face of my grandpa, looking back at me from his own board and grinning at the look of my determined face to get out into the line-up. Eminent to the gray-haired “townies” who create their own spindrift from whipping the tail of their boards high in the air, is a homely beach, Rockpiles.…
