Alright Northwesterners!!!

Whats the difference between a creek, a crick, a stream, and a river?

Is it where they start? or size? or it just what we name them?

Is a river the biggest and stream the smallest??

There has to be a logical answer.....

Oh wow ... and I thought I was bored

 

[winter brew]

I've been on strike for a month and still not that bored. .....another month and this might be a fun topic.

This was a serious topic over the last weekend of camping between me and the G/F. What designates each of these.

Anyone???

You had nothing else to do why you were camping, alone with your girfriend, out in the woods all alone.

I hope this helps. Lol


A river is a natural stream of water, usually freshwater, flowing toward an ocean, a lake, or another stream. In some cases a river flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water. Usually larger streams are called rivers while smaller streams are called creeks, brooks, rivulets, rills, and many other terms, but there is no general rule that defines what can be called a river. Sometimes a river is said to be larger than a creek,[1] but this is not always the case.[2]
A river is a component of the water cycle. The water within a river is generally collected from precipitation through surface runoff, groundwater recharge (as seen at baseflow conditions / during periods of lack of precipitation) and release of stored water in natural reservoirs, such as a glacier.

Maybe we were discussing this while doing other things???

So according to that.............

I think the names have more to do with geographic area...

A creek is a small river in the flatlands....

A crick is a small stream in the hills/mountains...

How is that?

Another IAM brother I see?
I can afford to buy you this beer!

Word in the factory is expect to be back @ the first of Nov.
I hit the VIP for $15,000 just to fund some home projects to fight boredom.

I am getting some wrenching done on the sleds though.

I thought a crick came from a person who couldn't say creek. In Snohomish Co. it goes by class I, II, III etc. It all depends on how much $$ you want to spend to build near it.
