Mad River steady at 7 feet and 392 cfs, Eel dropping slowly at 11 feet and 2104 cfs. Trinity River remains cold, while the Klamath has warmed, ocean 52-54 degrees. My rhododendrons have finally begun blooming. This week is the last regular week of classes for Cal Poly Humboldt with finals week and graduation to follow. The motels will fill up with the parents and family members of the students, and when the graduation ceremonies are done, Arcata will quickly empty for the summer. Bad for the local businesses, but most people seem to enjoy the quiet.
