Snuck in a walk in the woods at the Lake Rabon park this morning before the weather moves in.

I noted that more of the trails are now graveled (it’s a rural area, not wilderness, so I guess they have to). Fortunately, there’s still some dirt trails:


With the recent rains, it looks like there’s decent water flow through the lake and into the creek below:

That’s a bit of a climb up from the bottom to the top of the dam.

Somehow I’m reminded of a song when I go by this area, where the Highway 252 bridge goes over the creek:

Sung to the tune of “Under the Boardwalk” by the drifters:

Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the road
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet would take a swim
Under the highway, down by the creek, yeah
On a rock with my baby is where I’ll be

(under the highway) out of the sun
(Under the highway) we’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the highway) people driving above
(Under the highway) we’ll be catchin’ fish
Under the highway, highway!
