Arroyo

Last week in the cool of the evening we went for a walk up the arroyo, the dry creek bed, across the street from the house. There are houses along much of the way, but down in the creekbed it feels a little wild. Where the few streets pass over you have to either walk through culverts or scramble up the bank and back down. Although we have not seen any water in our section of the arroyo, it was clear that sometimes there is a great deal of water upstream at least. There are some fairly major erosion control structures along the way and the culverts are large.
