Receding

Well the river is receding for now.  It didn't overflow its banks and wash away the levy but it did seep in on the east end of the park (right where we were).

It was a lot of excitement but I bet there will be a lot more when somewhere between the middle and the end of June, the snow melt will come flooding through. (and there is a lot of snow up there this year).

The river was about a foot from the top of this bank.  In the middle of the picture, on the left side, the river washed away about 30 of land  and when it cuts away another 30 feet, someone will have the corner of their new house sitting in the river.  I would imagine that they will have to spend some big bucks to try and reinforce the bank.  Right along this stretch the RV park lost a half a dozen sites in 2005.  We got just a small taste of what the people along the Mississippi and the Missouri are facing.  Bye for now.
