Little Slough Creek experience massive flooding from these
rains. The trail access
at Kiowa Road is covered in debris, but trail conditions in the
area remain good despite the damaging floodwaters.
Where Section 3 is accessed at
Kiowa Road, a wall of water at least 10' above normal buried the low
water bridge and adjacent fields. The fast flowing water
leveled a corn field to the northeast, scattering cornstalks
into overhead limbs. The water also cleared the surface of
Kiowa Road of all loose gravel...leaving only the gravel deeply
embedded in the clay soils.

Corn stalks piled against the road
sign and the old well.

Floodwaters at Kiowa Road low water
bridge, long after they crested. Yes, those are corn stalks hanging
from the overhead limbs!!!

10/15: Volunteers Steve, Dave and
Lynn assess damage on Section 3 near the low water bridge. Lynn is
hiding behind corn stalks wrapped around a tree. The stream is on
the right, about 8' below. |
