My site has in several ways over time. When we first visited Salmon Hole, there were a variety of different trees on the rocks and throughout, which is still true now, but used to be covered in trees and had different birds and critters fluttering about. The water level seems to have gone up by at least half a foot, as I wasn’t able to sit as close as I normally do. This could be due to the amount of rain that we have had in the last couple weeks. Some major landmarks in Salmon Hole that I’ve become familiar with, is the bride/path that you use to get closer to the water. When it was extremely icy, the only way down was to slide on your butt because of how steep it was. Now the path is slightly damp (again thanks to the rain), but completely visible. Another landmark is the big eastern white pine right across the bridge that goes over the stream. This tree is a somewhat moderately difficult tree to climb, but once you get up the view is so pretty and you kind of feel like a bird. (Now is when I would have inserted a picture from above, but I was scared I’d drop my camera the 20ish feet from the tree.) I don’t necessarily consider myself as a part of my place, but I am more familiar and comfortable with it. From looking closely at the changes, to trail running through the trees every one in a while, I’ve become pretty familiar with the area. However, I don’t really believe that people are a “part” of a place, only temporary people passing through that may or may not connect and affect the ecosystems present.
