Wow! With all the snow that melted in April, the creek flooded over a wide swath of the central creek area. It was quite impressive – Bailey beach was not touched since it is on higher ground. It reminds us of the power of mother nature.
For a few days, South Kelso Valley Road was flooded and closed which stranded our neighbors for a bit. It has not flooded like this since then, but just goes to show that you have to be aware that mother nature does what she wants out here.
