Yesterday the trail was dry.

Thanks Jonathan for heading out into the mud between downpours this morning! We'll post more of his photos shortly.
UPDATE: A Red Car Property neighbor who is also a landscape designer, writes, "Hopefully most of the water will be absorbed into the soil and filtered
into the aquifer. That's the goal for stormwater, and the gophers help
in a big way."
