We’re in the middle of a really bad drought here and the creek is just… gone. Not even a puddle. It’s drizzled like once in the past month and a half. Even the deep pools are completely dry, and there’s a lot of dead animals. Lots of fish dried up in the creek bed and the trail to the creek was littered with dead mice and voles.

Saw this cool dude though (cooper’s hawk?), a turkey vulture, and a fox, and last night I saw a deer at the edge of the forest. I feel so bad for them all.

#attempted to go mudlarking and there wasn’t even any mud #found lots of creek glass which was cool though #very stinky from all the dead animals #there’s a chance for rain later this week but it’s not enough #we need like several days of torrential downpours #the creek is mostly about waist to shoulder deep on me and I’m 5’8 for reference #several of the deep pools go over my head #there’s a part with a little waterfall and it’s very strange seeing it with no water #worst drought I’ve ever seen- the creek’s been low before but never completely dry
