Cabin Anniversary

My parents bought a trailer to use at the river back in 1968....August 8 to be exact.

45 years ago.....the old trailer was moved and replaced in the early 90's with our 

current cabin.....Has never been flooded...yet.... The first several pictures here 

were taken between two and three this afternoon....MODOT closing the highway and 

directing traffic....

Bridge closed.

High water....

We had put things up high...but then they raised the crest...We realized

the water would likely get into the cabin this time so we went down to

move things inside up higher...We had to climb down the bluff/hill..Not

an easy walk...then had to wade through the floodwaters to get in..

the down river side of the cabin..

Molly photo-bombing this neat rock formation on our way back 

up the bluff hill..

These pictures were taken around seven thirty in the evening....river higher now, 

numbers on the pillars not showing.

South end of the bridge....according to the markers here this is higher than the 1982

flood...and was still rising..

Richard took these pictures...neat fog over the river...

Looking upriver...towards Spring Creek..

Taken from the North end of the bridge...

And a pretty sunset to end the day.

Richard is planning on going back over the bluff in the morning...will post pictures he takes...
We are hoping for the best, but have accepted the fact that water is in there. So many people
have so much more worse things to deal with, so not going to complain. We sure have had a lot of
good times down there over the years! Many, many memories....
