Jul 15, 2010
Three to five inches of rain fell over and just north of Appleton on July 14th. Much of the rain fell in the Apple Creek basin in Outagamie County. Apple Creek Campground is just downstream and across the county line in Brown County next to a bend in the creek. Banks on the opposite side of the creek are high, causing the swollen creek to flow into the 15 acre campground.
