Stream flowing under Old Milford rd over falls into Milford Millpond by Don Ross
Just reporting that this location has dried up completely for the past month or more since we've had such a dry summer, so no water to test until possibly in late fall if we get some decent rainfalls between now and winter.

Cherry Valley Lions Memorial Park Boat Launch Dock by Don Ross
No rainfall in past 24 hours. Overcast right now and quite windy. Water levels have receded enough now that the dock is no longer submerged and access to the boat launch and dock is back to normal. Lots of monarch and brown spotted butterflies, dragonflies, moths and small fish seen in the water. Some birds heard in the bullrushes, likely red-winged blackbirds. 2 kayakers coming ashore as I was finishing up. They live nearby and I talked about our testing and gave them a card to go onto the site for more info.
