Riverbend Summer

Riverbend can be surprisingly hot and humid beginning in June. The dense stands of forest and undergrowth prevent air currents and the humidity compounds the heat. I visited recently on a hot day and found myself exhausted after about 2 hours. The heavy rains of this spring have produced very dense growth. The biodiversity at RB is amazing and this year, more species are evident than in past years.

I see no evidence of building, logging or other human activity.
