Note 3 how water traps🌊
Here’s another note from the book. This is one I think a lot of people overlook when they’re out looking.
🪨 Pay attention to natural rock traps BEFORE the water.
Most people look at where the water is flowing right now, but I like to look at where the water used to flow.
Old channels, old gravel bars, benches and other areas that the stream has moved away from can still hold material that was left behind years or even thousands of years ago.
The creek might have changed its path, but the rocks and minerals it left behind can still be sitting there.
Sometimes you have to look at the old story of the land, not just what the water is doing today. ⛰️🪨
