    Soft sandy monitoring location. Overgrown and high vegetation on the way to access the location, and had to break trail. Potential tripping hazards are present because of uneven terrain covered in overgrown vegetation. Caution and bug spray are needed. High vegetation near the monitoring location, therefore, needed to break trail. No signs of algae, but footprints of wildlife around. Plentiful birds are around the monitoring location. Road discharge merges downstream near the culvert from the monitoring location.
