Minden flooding and some other pics NF

The rain caused a sink hole in my driveway which I promptly got stuck in, right up to the axle. The shovel was futile. I had to get a neighbor to pop me out.

I felt bad for the people of Minden, especially with idiots like me taking pics. I would have volunteered to help but there was nothing to do. I didn't see it, but the hydro dam up river, holding back Minden Lk, was getting over-run with water coming over and around it. There was some worry it might let go.

I put a marker stick in the sand on Gull Lk. The water rose 5" overnight from Sunday to Monday

Insane and from 01/01/06, someone needs to buy a newer camera.... and a rear window for the Ford LOL

 

 

Friends don't let friends drive Rangers

 

I guess we're not friends then, LOL

 

I have a newer camera, but I like the old Kodak better, it's bullet proof

Thanks for the update. I found out today I'll be walking and doing some climbing up and down a 30 foot long washout to get into the cottage this weekend. I don't mind the exercise but the potential dollar signs are disburbing.

Thx for the update and for being our eyes up there.

 

 

no problem Mirro

 

WoW what a mess... Ill be in the area on the weekend. hopefully it receeeds soon.

 

All the area lakes clear of ice? thinking of laker hunting soon :)

 

there was some decent sattelite pictures yesterday, looks like the lakes are pretty well ice free

 

it also seems every photographer seems concerned about the beer store and LCBO lol. (must just be a staple land mark that everyone knows)

 

if the beer store flooded out, then it would really be a disaster!
