Rain, Rain and More Rain

We had one of the prettiest falls I have ever seen out here.  I think becasue we had such a dry October.

Lots of color and it was warm and dry so we could get out and enjoy it.

 

What a different a few weeks makes.  We just had our first flood of the season and our river went from 100 cubic feet per minute to nearly 7000 cubic feet per minute.

 It's amazing how quickly it all came up.  It went from 8' to 18' over night.  We could hear the huge trees racing down the river all night long.  You know that when you get up your view of the river is going to change.

 

This morning we have two giant log jams were there used to be two small ones.  Our beaver dam is gone and a good portion of the island out front.  We also have a refridgerator door in the jam!  I hope we can get that out of there once the water receeds.

I took this video last night just before it peaked.

That is a lot of water. So nice to be near nature like that isn't it? Weren't you nervous about that dog getting swept away?
