#Raft River

Raft River Viewing Park, Clearwater (No. 1)

Prior to European settlement, the area that is now occupied by the village was occupied by the Okelhs First Nations. They were eventually superseded by the Chilcotins in the 1870s.

The fur trade brought the earliest settlers to the area. The Overlanders expedition to the Cariboo goldfields rafted down the North Thompson River in 1862. When they first arrived at the mouth of the Clearwater River, they named it for its distinct clarity compared to the relatively muddy waters of the North Thompson. The Overlanders also named Raft Mountain, which rises northeast of Clearwater to a height of 2,450 m (8,038 ft).

1914 - Rail access was established. Previously access had been by steam boat or overland.

1953 - Transmountain pipeline completed through area.

1970s -Yellowhead Highway complete through area.

1968 - Clearwater is incorporated as a settlement.

December 2007 - Municipal government is incorporated.

page 564 - okay, I can't let it go yet because it is all just churn, like the cutaway of this popular rapid in the Adirondack Mountains of north-east America.

I'm too annoyed with myself to actually explain my thinking here, so I'll just leave some breadcrumbs for you to figure out the metaphor.

-AI

-consumption and regurgitation

-ouroboros

-diminishing returns

-diminished humanity

-swim in an innocuous river

-pulled into a faster current

-no matter how hard you swim the shore is out of reach

-trapped in the churning water gasping for breath whenever you break the surface for a frantic second

-smashed against rocks having your skin gouged and peeled from your body as your blood flows into the river's roiling waters the world goes grey then black because you've swallowed too much water and not enough oxygen

-diminished individual

This sketch was requested in my Patreon's suggestion box by Backlash, who's prompt was, "My two characters Zak and Kira on a river raft in the middle of a bad storm." I assume this was unplanned, so I thought it was suitable to give them panicked expression. I also framed this like a movie/storyboard. :3
