Lots of folks out and about in the park today, including a trickle of sign-lugging folks taking the bike path homeward from the local Hands Off rally site about a half-mile away. Alas, the rally itself would have been way beyond the CrankyBod's abilities, but I'm glad to at least witness the fringes while I get some nature therapy.

‘Change Has Been Amazing’ For Depleted Mountain: with New Vegetation Comes Deer, Pumas, Andean Bears

A creek gulch area i passed over a few days ago. This creek looks small, but it sure gets big when the rains come. I bet it gets real loud and tumultuous. I wonder how long it's taken to carve this gulch...

The area around there is mostly pasture land and grassy fields, but in the gulch, it's full jungle. The way these river gulches hold moisture and shade provides a most fantastic habitat for just about all kinds of plants (including invasive). It's basically moist and shady all the time (great mosquito and pig habitat too lol). The rivers that make these gulches often have freshwater crawfish in them too.

Anyway, I was just crossing the little bridge over the gulch and stopped to take the photo. I don't think there's an easy way to get down to the creek. But it sure is lovely to look down into it and see the jungle!

So this is really cool:

You can trace U.S. streams & rivers from arbitrary points down to the ocean, and also trace them upstream. I can trace stuff near Yellowstone over 3900 miles to the Mississippi Delta. #water #rivers #geography #hydrology

This past week's storms may have not brought the predicted dramatic lightning show, but they did drop enough rain to keep the river running high and prompt the trees to push out some buds. So I'm out grabbing some sunny nature break time before the next deluge.

There was a ban on eels to Russia,
Their export now causing a fuss-a,
The UK government said no,
To protect these eels in a blow,
Saving them from a risky muss-a.
