This area is still very dry. The creek is still down to a trickle, with most of the streambed exposed. All ponds are down by feet, showing bare exposed banks. A recent construction project showed the subsoil here to be bone dry about 6-8 inches below the surface. Prescribed burning at this site will have to wait until at least one more significant rain. All the big rains keep missing us! CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Holland 6.3 NW on 11/11/2017
