"I just saw the weather...rain Sat and Sun. If it's not too bad that's a plus for hunting the muddied creek gravels. But not very kid friendly hunting, so I think upper Deer it will be (and Finney while I'm up there).

"I'm back. I don't want to talk about it...

Cynthia does want to go to Deer creek this weekend. So I'll be doing that.
If we do get together to go to higher up on deer, we need to do it from the Pilchuck side, and just hike in up the road if it is gated.

"Upper UPPER Deer Creek isn't worth it!!!!! We need to just hit the area above the known source, just past the box canyon above Oso. I'm waiting to hear back from Cynthia about Sun./Mon. If she wants to go Sunday, then I'm just going to show her around Oso. I am itching to get higher up the creek, so I am game for which ever day Cynthia doesn't pick.

"Alright, let's do it. What is early to your wife? that is what time should i expect you?
~Zeke"

"I'll bring an extra poncho. Where should we meet? I think The oso gas station is best, that way if I get there early i can just poke around on the creek.

"Nope, by I'm no expert. they seem to be a product of glaciation. the "unit" they are on is described as follows:

Till (Pleistocene)—Nonstratified, matrix-supported mixture of clay, silt, sand,
and gravel in various proportions with disseminated cobbles and boulders;
compact or dense; mottled dark yellowish brown to brownish gray, grayish
blue, or very dark gray; matrix commonly consists of silty fine to coarse sand
with or without clay; includes Canadian-provenance and locally derived clasts;
where overlying bedrock, up to 90 percent of basal clasts are excavated from
underlying bedrock; generally a few yards thick, but can range from a
discontinuous veneer to several tens of yards; forms a patchy cover over much
of the study area; overlies bedrock in elevated alpine settings but forms a
conformable layer in glacial-terrace and low valley-bottom settings and thus
mantles topography (cross sections A and B); consists largely of lodgment till
but may locally include flow till.

The term "potholes' seems to describe a known geological feature, that if they were kimberlite pipes, that term would be found in the texts describing these features, but that is not the case.
