HOLLOW
Here is an image of 69 ft. high Hollow Falls, North Table Mountain, Oroville from a few weeks ago. I think I might head back to Table Mountain one more time in the near future, now that everything is running again.
This latest storm brought us 7 inches of rain in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills (though only about 2 inches in the valley, such as here in Oroville). It is a tremendous blessing to receive this late season storm, and every little bit of rain is helping. However, I strongly disagree with what the News is saying about our prospects for the summer. I said right at the beginning that we needed at least four major storms just to get us through the summer. We have had three now. (plus 2 or 3 small ones). Folsom Lake is still only at about 45 percent capacity (the big northern reservoirs are not doing any better). There is still very little snow pack (though this last storm did increase that quite a bit). When the snow starts melting (soon), it is not going to increase the reservoir levels enough. We still need to be praying for at least one more big one. It is not spring yet folks (I hope). I will have more on the final snow pack tally on my next post.
I have heard that it does seem like spring on Table Mountain right now. The wildflowers are going off the charts this year at Table Mountain and elsewhere. Perhaps I will have a pretty flower picture for you on my next post. Ha ha.
