Piney Z East Levee

19 May 2002: We'd run an Alford Greenway Park loop, and needed a little "tack-on" distance. Here, as we finish our Cadillac tack-on, Lori and Panzer enjoy the sunset from the Second Levee.

1 July 2008: I tricked these guys into adding my 6.75M tack-on to the normal weekly ~15M Higher Ground Bikes Tuesday night ride. After the Alford loop, the boys posed for a East Levee sunset shot.

27 August 2008: We're at the south end of the "Second" or East Levee, looking northward. Cadillac Trail's "Hill of Death" is just behind me. Needless to say, it's obvious that Tropical Storm Faye's runoff has filled Lower Lake Lafayette (r). Piney Z Lake (l) is taking in the excess.

27 August 2008: Notice the 'gator (r) waiting patiently next to the levee.

27Aug08: As water flowed east to west from Lower Lake Lafayette (r) to Lake Piney Z (l), fish were attempting to salmon their way upstream into the gator's jaws. Ain't nature great?

27Aug08: This was as far as I felt like going today. I didn't want to make the gator's job too easy.
