Spring Flood Trip.... NOT!



Rozz and I tried to get in last weekend, the snow and ice on the road in was still a foot deep, too deep to straddle with the minivan, a foot of packed ice on one side of the road and mud on the other it was a tough drive.. finally found a place to turn around, got stuck a half dozen times but finally got out before I buried the van completely. We decided to just walk in..

Three quads caught up to us just at the flooded section, we were going to get them to give us a lift over the water, but they zoomed right in, The first quad, started floating then got swept into the river, the other two managed to back out.. the two who went in got back to shore, very cold and very wet.. the quad gone…

Lesson learned the river is not very forgiving.. but I do know where to fish for ATV’s come spring…
Funny thing is a few hours earlier we could have walked right in but would still be trapped there… the water rose so quick.
On the chart 9.4 is flooded over the road it is still at 9,8M..
