Our hike to the creek on Monday
The water flow is very very slow almost stagnant. The water level is at its original bank and is at it's original depth. Weather outside is around 60 degrees F, cloudy and foggy. Tearance Darius and Randy are testing the water tempurature and PH level. At one spot the temperature was 59 degrees F, and the PH was 7.1 at the other spot the creek water was 60.5 degrees and PH was 6.7
