29 June 2007

Flash flood trip to the Wichita Mountains. This area has received close to 20 inches of rain since May 1st, with 3-6 inches during the previous 24 hours. Unfortunately, it was too much of a good thing, and the trails to 40 Foot Hole were closed and the road was flooded by several feet of running water. I opted to take video on the longer hike to French Lake in the rain, but I did manage to get a few pictures later in the day as the rain finally diminished some.
