The Aftermath

We made our way down to the cabins this afternoon....The river is still out of it's banks, but on the other side of the river...we parked at the top and walked in.  This is looking off of our neighbor's yard....big log in the river...his propane grill knocked upside down and the water dug a big hole...note the hummingbird feeder that survived though!

Pump and well house are a mess

ah yes, a flamingo survived! i didn't see the other one though...this one was stuck in the ground....you would think it have floated up and been gone..

Some mud, but could have been worse....we were relieved to see the deck was still there....

and our "save the sand box and sand" idea worked!

Lots of mud in here....kind of wish I would have studied on those designs in the mud..but may be better off not knowing what made them...Ha!  you can see the bed....soaked...most of the things we put on top of this bed were ok though.

some of the foam boards we put over the windows during the Winter were broken..

The inside room was a disaster! The refrigerator have tipped over...and the bunk bed had started to float around.

So some of the things we had on top of the bunk bed ended up falling off...see the microwave? it was on top of the refrigerator....not sure if it floated over there or flew/bounced over there when the fridge fell...behind this area was a big array of kitchen utensils,etc..the contents of two kitchen drawers...

top of bunk bed got wet so out went the pillows/mattresses..

There was a pen stuck in the screen door...guess it got stuck there when floating....I saw a clothespin in the kitchen standing perfectly upright on it's end too...and some other weird and funny things.

the counter/bar in the kitchen

It was clear over the stove..and see that art desk? it had been across the room! 

We got a lot of things cleared out in preparation to squeege out the mud

and there is a lot of mud...

You can see the river is still in a lot of the bottom across the river

mud line on the door of the old cabin...we took the plastic yard furniture out of here and  a few other things....like another bed....will work more in it next time too

you can see the mud line on the neighbor's fixed glass panel in his new part...

and it got nearly to the top of the screens in their original part.

and I got pretty muddy! ha!
