[at-l] 2003 Rain Year

[s.landis at comcast.net (Steve Landis)]

The Trail near the Scott Farm at the bridge is under water. The 
Conodoquinet Creek is over it's banks and we are expecting a 
thunderstorm tonight.  While scouting the creek for a possible paddle 
today ran into a couple of day hikers there who were hiking from Boiling 
Springs to Wertzville Road who had to bushwhack around the flooding.  I 
ended up doing a short paddle on Mountain Creek which is running at 
Class III today but had to cut it short because I was alone and the wave 
train going thru Mt Holly Springs was full of strainers and it just 
wasn't safe.
