Today Tammy and I went back to Devils Den to hike the bike trails. We had our water shoes ready for the creek crossing, but to our surprise...NO WATER at the trail crossing! We couldn't believe it and was astounded by the lack of water in the very deep holes around the crossing area. Some areas looked to be around 10-12 feet below where the water had been running just last Tuesday. It was like something had just sucked the water away. The rocks were dry and there was no mud in the bottom of the deepest holes. the picture above shows the spot where we have had our lunch sitting on the darker rocks just ahead of Tammy to the right. This entire area was dry.
Usually the water is running just below where Tammy's feet are hanging and the tree has small waterfalls running on each side of it.
The picture above shows what the crossing area looked like today and the photo below show how it looked last Tuesday.
Today was just a strange day from the start. With old vans with satanic symbols in the parking lot, No water in one of the deeper areas, no sounds in the woods and a strange acting guy on the trail (which we crossed the creek and stayed far from him) it was just weird. BUT...a day hiking is still better than a tread mill or working out with a video! :-)
