Red Car Property: Mudwatch, Creek Flow

Photo: Red Car Property Neighbor, January 5, 2017.  The swamp just north of Rose Scharlin Nursery School has always been mudtastic in the rain. (Click on photos to enlarge.) 

We'd only had a half inch of rain before these photos were shot today.

Photo: Red Car Property Neighbor, January 5, 2017.  Not only is the swap/vernal pool fed by the run-off from the Lake View Ave slope side of the Red Car Property, it's also fed by a portion of Red Car Canyon Creek.  While it's hard to see in this photo, if you've ever actually walked the property in the rain, you'll see the water flowing out of Red Car Canyon in both directions: north toward India Street and south toward the 2 Freeway.
