A devastated home across the street from the Doudy Draw Trailhead off of Eldorado Drive.
The view of the ever-changed Doudy Draw. Looks more like a glacial moraine now.
Looking west across the former yard of our friend's house in Eldorado. They lost quite a chunk of their property to the "creek". Ugh. 
A land/mudslide behind a small home in Eldorado Springs. I heard the inside was basically mud and water. 
Rocks and water cascading down the steps of the Eldorado Springs pool resort. 
Raging creek and worried man. 
Think that would stop Dave? Bastille on the left. 
A section of the Eldorado road and retaining wall washed out. Note the view of the creek through the hole below the hanging section of the rock wall. This wall is directly across the road from the Bastille. Thousands of butts have enjoyed this feature in the past. 
What's left of the Eldo road - this is about 1/4 of mile west of the Bastille. 
Same spot, different angle. 
The Eldorado Picnic grounds at the visitor's center are trashed. 
Looking upstream from the visitor's center where rushing waters and debris crumpled a heavy steel fence. 
Just uproad from the Rattlesnake Gulch Trailhead, the gulch proper turned into a massive and rock and water slide which took out this section of the park road. A new waterfall and stream now feed the main "creek". 
Another view of the main washout on the road. 
One more view... 
The view of the road/retaining wall washout from across the "creek". How long will the new arch stand? Is it still there even today? 
On the way to Eldo...just your normal Friday morning bike ride. The next day, Dave was here (Marshall Road) and rescued a 12" trout that was gasping for life on the center line of the road.
