Hi all,
Sorry to hear that East Troy was hit so badly by the flooding! They're telling us here in Fort that the river crested today, just about 6 feet above the flood stage, and that the waters will subside at a rate of about one inch per day... if you do the math, that means things will be back to normal by Labor Day. We are still bone dry, thanks to our elevation; we just have lots of people who can't get to their houses using the driveway to park in the field next door; it's become the city's temporary overflow parking lot.
The only real downside for us is that Calvin and I had to cancel a camping & caving trip to Makoqueta Mounds State Park in Iowa this weekend. With bridges being closed and levees failing everywhere, there was no way I wanted to be crossing the Mississippi this weekend!
Last night Cal and I took the canoe out, and I couldn't believe how much had changed since last Sunday... Here are a few pics of our boat ride through the old fort, and down hwy 106 west of town. Keep in mind that all of these pictures were taken within a half mile or so of our house.
Enjoy...
