High Water

Heavy rain upriver has produced very high water downstream at Riverbend. In the photo above, high water marks from muddy river water show the dramatic levels. This is a photo of the usually dry creek between the Stringham property and ours. The water is not flow down the creek, but back flow from Smith Creek and Deep River.

In another view of the same area above, the water level was about 8 feet above the current level within the past two days. I am at the center of the photo modeling my new hiking attire ... blaze orange vest. Seems a bit strange to have to wear such protective colors while hiking my own property.
