"Though surrounded by urban development, McAlpine Creek Greenway is the only greenway (in Charlotte) where you can see river otter, beaver, and mink all in one general area. Also protected at this greenway is Mecklenburg County's only population of a native Larkspur (Delphinium tricorne), a very rare, purple, showy, spring ephemeral wildflower.
188 species of birds have been documented along McAlpine Creek Greenway, the second highest site total in Mecklenburg County." according to Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation.  

I like their Greenway map too.  Maybe an ambitious walker-spectator could park at the one of the more distant parking areas.

Last Saturday's meet
It was interesting to read the reporting on last Saturday's meet from Spring Valley High School (Columbia, NC).  Watauga has stomped everyone at our home meets in recent years.  "This is our first ever win at this invitational and our first win over host Watauga High."  Congratulations!
