Plenty of rain!

We had a really nice weekend this holiday, with plenty of rain each morning and a few heavy sprinkles during the day. This morning we had 2.5 inches beginning around 5 a.m. This was a common sight as we tried to get back to a paved road.

This road was passable, as the ponding on one side spilled over to the other in a rush. The first turn-off on the regular route wasn't so fortunate.

That's one bridge nobody would be crossing today. We tried did see the "Road Closed / High Water" sign leaning against a fence post on the side, but couldn't reach it without waders. Hopefully anyone passing by knows better than to attempt to go through 3+ feet of rushing water.

We did find an easy, slightly longer, route back to the main highway, and while driving we saw another piece of wildlife we've never seen before in the eight years of coming out to SBR.

I don't know if you can tell in the photo, but it's a Roadrunner!
