Did you know there are secret springs in east San Antonio? With all this recent rain, they are now bursting.
Martin Luther King at Salado Creek is a spot where, every year, thousands of people gather to begin the big march.

Springs start to flow when the aquifer is at about 670 feet. Tuesday's reading was about 677, so we're several feet into the flow.
