October 22, 2026 – First Rain of the Season!
Today is Sunday, November 1. The road is dry and the creek is dry. The catch basin is able to hold the current rain if we get any more rain they will release it down the road if we get a lot of rain it’ll blow the soft plug out and flood the Creek I hope this makes sense. Have a great week for 1 November. The Marine Corps birthday is on the 10th and the Marines of the club will be celebrating it on Saturday the seventh.
Friday October 30th, light rain creek and road are dry! Updates all weekend this is your source for the best videos and creek status! No video now all is dry!
Stay tune I’ll be going over to the catch basin today doing a video and explaining how water comes down the road and not creek at times!
Today is Monday, October 26. The Rhode and Creek are completely dry. The next update to the website will be at the sign of the first rain possibly Friday.
Thanks Gunny, Garry Owen!
Thanks!
Master Sergeant Sir
October 23rd 2026, creek remains the same! Robert superintendent of catch basin next door called and told me they will not be holding any water in their catch basin! In preparation for El Niño!
Every rain from now on the water will be released and flow down the road!
October 22nd Thursday, videos sent to web. Creek is currently dry; however, the road before the creek is running fast with no let up in sight. It is 5 to 6 inches deep in several areas. Be careful stay tuned for future updates Chuck is here to provide everyone with current information!
Sunday October 11th steady rain at the range. Our neighbors who run the catch basin advised the gates will be open today and Monday! They just cleaned the catch basin in anticipation of El Niño, therefore the gates will be open expect water in the creek! This will be their MO until El Niño hits! Range staff have departed for the day range is still open to full members only. Today thanks Chuck more update’s tomorrow
