Establishing a new definition for "white water", here is what Lick Creek looked like on July 8, 2004 in a photo by Pepper Morris.

Yucky brown water.

And it wasn't much better in this picture Pepper took on July 14, 2004 either.
Pollution churns below the low water crossing.

On the left is another day of pollution below the low water crossing.

And on the right, going back to April 4, 2004 (in a pic by Cindy Phillips), is Lick Creek down-stream of the Green Hole. Lovely green-ery isn't it? Too bad we have to look at it fram-ing that nasty, polluted creek.

Lick Creek below the Green Hole 4/4/04.

On July 27, 2004, Cindy took this depressing picture down at the beloved Green Hole. The hole wasn't so aptly named on that day was it?

These two pictures were taken by Cindy on July 27, 2004.

On the left is Lick Creek just below the low water crossing.

On the right is Lick Creek just upstream of the Green Hole.

East branch meets west branch of Lick creek 10/4/04
Phil Conard took this photo just below the low water crossing on Pedernales Canyon Trail, October 3, 2004 (following the October 1-2 rain event). It shows where the east branch of Lick Creek joins the west branch. Note that the pool below the falls is polluted and murky brown.
Green Hole before, when it was actually green.

And just in case you've forgotten what the hubbub is all about:

On the left is what it used to be like - two people enjoying the sparkly little waterfall, falling into an unspoiled Green Hole.

On the right, the same place (only somewhat less inviting), shot by Cindy Phillips on july 27, 2004.
