Pictures Taken December 1 & 2, 2001 at Shelby Farms
|
|
Looking across Walnut
Grove Road from the soccer field parking lot. That is backup water from the Wolf River over there. |
|
Looking down the road from
the soccer field parking lot to the Walnut Grove Road bridge. No parking today! |
|
Steps down to the white trail.
|
|
The blue trail at levee 2. A
lot of water under and over the bridge.
This picture was published in
the January 2002 Health and Fitness News. |
|
Standing on the white trail
looking south. The blue trail is under that water somewhere. |
|
The full power of the Wolf
River at 100 year flood. Not in sheep's clothing today. |
|
This bridge was moved and
damaged during the high water in February 2001. The December 2001 flooding caused more damage and moved the bridge about 4 feet towards the west.
Several smaller bridges
floated out of place. |
|
A board caught in a tree
shows how high the river was at this location. |
|
Large logs were tossed
about like twigs in the powerful flow of the flooding Wolf River. This picture is of the yellow trail. In the first 3/4 mile of the blue trail 8 trees are down in the trail. |
|
At several locations the river
bank washed out leaving the trail on the edge. |
|
This is another location
where the river bank washed out. Notice the concave cut out in the bank. We are walking and riding on air! |
|
In many places the force of
the rushing water scoured out new holes or ripples in the ground. This new hole is of notable size. That is a full size mountain bike there. |
|
Wishing for a day at the
beach? The Wolf River deposited tons of sand at various places on the yellow trail. This is just one. |
|
Here the water's force
stripped the leaves off the plants to well away from the river bank. |
|
The entire forest was
covered with water. This old river channel is crossed by the blue trail. This water was 3 to 4 feet deep on the day of this picture. No telling how long it will take for this to soak in. |
