Every time I get up to one of our creeks I wonder why I don't get up there more often. This spot is literally a 10 min drive from my house. Its right at the beginning of the hot springs trail loop. There is a lot of water right now and it was a beautiful day in this spot. I did drive around town for an hour trying to find a place that wasn't too windy. I got lucky and found it was just perfect up here next to the mountain. On the left hand side you can see the trail coming through. I look forward to many more creekside pieces... just because its such a pleasant place to work.
