Ran over to take a look at creek earlier today. Water flow is strong and free of ice. Was hoping that the sun would have melted some more snow to bring the level up a bit, but mother nature did...

Thanks Jerry. You got some great action shots. Seeing the size of some of those waves, I am surprised there wasn't more carnage.

Looking forward to seeing you all again. Should be a blast. Do you know if the bridge is still out that caused us to take that wild-ass detour last year to get back and forth to the take out?
