Annual Flooding of The Red

It's hard to believe it's only been 3 weeks since the March 14th blizzard, but now all but the biggest piles of snow have melted and our region is preparing for major flooding. We drove over to the river to take a look and were very impressed with the level of the water this year. Once again we are very grateful for our town's dikes system - we are completely safe from the flood but all the surrounding communities are not. Hopefully the waters will recede soon.

One of our favorite stretches of bike trail on the river side of the dike....
disappears right into the water.
