Update Log
- November 11, 2012: New photos from Steve Conro
- October 21, 2012: Photo imported by Luke Harden
- August 14, 2012: Updated by Luke Harden: I think I found it on the map.
An intermittent tributary of Owens Creek does indeed run through the bridge.
The November pictures Steve took show that the drought this past summer appears to have dried up most, if not all of the water in the stream's channel.
