    Shoulda posted that in the lakefront living thread... LOL.

    Rivers require a wide berth. Lakes that have dams are more safer. Usually.

    Hopefully nobody hurt there...

    Yeah, saw yesterday the entire park is closed due to flooding. No bueno.

    Yellowstone is one of my favorite places to go, but damn, between the bears and the boiling hot geysers, and now the flooding, it has a lot of ways to kill you.

    “UPDATE: All entrances to Yellowstone National Park CLOSED temporarily due to heavy flooding, rockslides, extremely hazardous conditions.”

    Away, away, away, down.......
    The hillbilly part of my brain was thinking “there’s gonna be some sweet pickens somewhere on the river bank after this flood”

    Part of that might be because when I was 12 or 13 I cleaned/refurbished a spinning reel I found in the trees along a local creek after a flood and it was the main reel I used into my mid 20’s.

    I just rafted that Gardener section of the Yellowstone river last weekend. It was high and fast but nothing like it is now. Lucked out with the good timing!

    Hopefully people don’t loose too much in the floods.

    That house looked pretty well built to stay together that long.

    For some reason I found that funny.

    Maybe somebody can salvage it and build a barn or something with the price of lumber being what it is.

    How far does the flooding continue downriver?
