    The Rock is flooding again for the third time in as many months. It will be awhile before I get to fish it. These pictures were taken right down from my house.

    I’m about 100 yards off the river Brian. But I still get some water in the basement. No big deal the sump pump runs for a while. This fall I’m going to put a new tile system around the foundation.

    Tony:

    Continued good luck on the flood avoidance. God Speed to your neighbors who aren’t as fortunate as you and if you would like, please send your extra water up north to us in our drought!!!

    Thanks for the kind words Mark. I truly wish I could send you all this extra water we have down here. All the rivers around here are just terrible right now. A week without rain will do us good.

    Tony I shure wish you would stop showing pictures of my old barn. I lived in the house that goes with It, 28 years ago
    The house has gone down hill big time from when I sold It to him. Do you live in the place next to Mrs Collins. I will Stop and tell you about the good smallie areas some day. Also You have not seen flooding yet It has been up to the basement window bottoms. hows your septic doing during high water. mine sucked. I wish I had that place today, to use during the summer.
