Casual Water

 Here we go again. Nothing unusual actually, another typical spring. With over 500 inches of snow this year, the water will probaly stick around just a little longer this year. A few early morning golfers were amazed to see the amount of water near the first tee. We are managing golf just fine and there are no alterations to the course due to high water so far. Carts can slowly creep through the paths with water on them safely. Small access bridges have been provided to access dry land for walkers.
 Have you noticed all that water coming through the parking lot? More run off above the 18th hole is getting onto the utility path and running into the parking lot. No this is not a water break from the homes nearby.
 The 10th Annual Teva Mountain Games began this week. Each year on Saturday, kayakers and paddle boarders take to the Gore for time trials. This is a sport I need to try, paddle boarding. It looks like a lot of fun, but I probably won't make my first run on the Gore, I would need calmer waters.
Here is a competitor kneeling down on his paddle board to clear the new bridge on 17. The new bridge has slightly more clearance for recreation on the creek. There are a number of bridges these paddlers need to maneuver through during the race.
