Notes

Water is lower than last week. It is still not moving at all. It hasn't rained since we visited last. Lots of crayfish visible and water temperature felt cooler. The beaver is still very active at the location with multiple dams increasing in size. Pollution sources in the immediate surroundings - Dog park. The water is not as flooded as last week. Beware dog feces on ground and dogs with no leash.
