Stream Below Bridge 2

Old Stream Bed
The stream has been dropping sediment way up to bridge 3 and beyond.  I have been meaning to look into the cause for some time.  I think that I have found it.  The stream is blocked by a log jam and trash.

The water is forming a delta in this area because there is not much relief between the stream and the land.

Water Flowing Along Base of Frogpond Dam
The water is spreading out toward the Frogpond dam and is actually flowing along its base.

I am afraid the dam will wash out.

Trail North of the Stream
This has always been an area where the integrity of the stream bed was in question during flash flooding.  This trail has become part of the delta and water has destroyed the trail.  It has been a hard winter!
