Creek Gauge

Creek Gauge

Yesterday afternoon, during the Tour of California bike race, I watched another speedy action...the rise of Cache Creek. Probably not really perceptible to any but those of us on the banks, the creek is starting to rise again! After such a dry dry winter, and a creek "way down there", it is very exciting to see it start to come back up.
Yesterdays first indicator was a line right across the creek, from bank to bank just east of where Copsey Creek joins in...behind that line heading my way, the water was completely mud colored...some time during the night, all that new runoff reached me as you can see in this photo. Tomorrow during a break in the storm and my schedule, I hope to get over to the other side of the creek and see what action has taken place there, where Copsey and Cache meet up.
