The Water Runs High: A My Town Monday Post
The waters of the river called Cuyahoga were anything but gentle this past week. Heavy rains on top of mounds of melting snow created a torrent of water. Here’s what the Cuyahoga River and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s Lock 29 parking lot looked like. It’s opposite our studio.
As if that weren’t enough, we had several more days of heavy rains. Our already drenched land couldn’t absorb the volume of water, so we had more flooding. Here’s what the river looked like last Saturday.
After the rains abated, we were treated to ice and snow; today, however, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the dogs are loving the mud.
As always, please feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone, (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by. Take a look at My Town Monday to see what other folks have to say about the places they call home.

We have the same issues here with the Rouge and Clinton Rivers. Stay safe, my friend.

Hello!
I am a Field Instructor at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center on Oak Hill Road, just a few miles north of your gallery. I am currently working on the center’s blog that we provide for our students, and the current entry is all about the flooding that we have mutually experienced in the past few weeks. If I provide credit for the images and linked back to your website, would you mind if I used some of your fantastic photos for the kids to see?
Thanks!
