A few of you have come up to our little paradise in the mountains.
This past few days we have experienced some of nature's fury in the form of a flood. The normal Santa Ana River 10-12 feet wide traveling at the south end of our property grew to over 100 feet wide in a torrent of mud sand and downed trees.
Here are a few before and after pictures.
The area we named "The Shire" next to the river"
Here is the flood going through it
Here is what is left as the water receded.
Here is a picture of the entrance you follow off the pavement to our property behind he small steel gate.
Here is what it looks like now:
Te mains structures were safe but the natural spring is buried, and the irrigation system and pump may be completely gone.
Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me this spring and summer.
Tanks,
Fred
