There is also some large tree debris down and much grass/corn stalks dropped at the high water mark.  It will be several weeks before we get dry enough to sweep this up.  That is after we get our crew called back from being off this winter.

We did lose more stream bank on #15 tees.  It looks like it may be as much as 10′ washed away.  We will go out later this week and take some measurements.
