Bryan returned to the Saline to record more footage, and this time we were able to wade much of the way; taking our time and looking at details. The last time we took Bryan's camera out the Saline was moving very rapidly and we were capsized almost immediately; nothing so dramatic occurred this time. The Saline was lazy, slow and low. We picked through the Saline with our cameras for five hours or so; surprisingly very pleasant conditions; many birds, fish, mammals. The low water revealed several shopping carts that were overlooked; we should make our way back soon.
Bryan continues to lend his time and skills to the project and has become a collaborator as he has made several trips from St. Louis to Urbana and produced a video of the project for the creative fundraising site Kickstarter.
