Grassy area between University center and Mill Steam

 

            The Mill Stream is higher this week! I am really excited about this. Last week there were marks from where the stream level usually is and the water level was at least 8 inches lower than that. So today when I was at the stream I was happily surprised to find that the level of the stream was only about two inches below the water marks. However I have heard rumors that man controls the water flow in the Millstream. So I will have to look into that deeper, and see whether or not the rising of the millstream was natural or unnatural. Other than the stream being higher this is a pretty typical afternoon at the millstream, there are the usual groups of people around. However it is slightly cooler today so there seem to be a slight fewer amount of people near the stream.
