Winter Excursion 5, Day 146

We started the day off pretty excited about the beautiful weather, but that ended early this morning. After all that rain there is major flooding in the entire area. We spent the day watching the water creep up to our campsite. The rest of the campers on our loop were told to leave for other sites on higher ground. Another foot or so and we would have also had to leave. Here's a few pics. 
That isn't ground, it's debris washed up on shore by the 15 mph winds we had all day.



This is as high as it came. Notice the fence underwater.
Here's a little video. 
The Ranger came by early this evening to say we could stay and the lake (river) wasn't going to rise any higher. The dam is just down stream from us and they are dumpling as much water as they can.
To say the least it's been an exciting few days with the storms and flooding!
