Leon Creek Greenway, Mainland Trailhead, North, Beyond Leon Vista Park On Towards O. P. Schnabel Park

Today's photos:























I returned to the Leon Creek Greenway, Mainland trailhead today to see how things look after last weekend's storm, and to walk the section between the Leon Vista Park trail cutoff and O. P. Schnabel Park that I hadn't walked previously. As can be seen in the photos, it is still quite damp three days after the rain. Most of the dirt side trails are soggy mud, but the ones that cover rocky ground are walkable.

While the creek is no longer continuously flowing, there are numerous extended sections with pools of water. It was good to see this much water in the creek bed. The Leon Creek watershed had received some of the heaviest rain early Sunday morning. From what I could see of the debris that marks the high water line, the creek, at least at this point, didn't get as deep as I had expected. There had been a flood advisory through Monday night for the Leon Creek further downstream.

Overall, today's photos tell the story far more effectively than I can write it.
