A mid-winter walk a few days after heavy rains found water flowing in the creek. After the hike, we noticed for the first time that the bridge we cross at the end of Yuba Drive was built in 1924, making it 100 years old this year! Yuba Drive now ends after the bridge, but it used to be the main road from Mountain View to Alviso.
