Forgot to mention in my weekly ramblings that as I was on my hike I saw that the river was running very high, it was chocolate brown and way up in the woods.
All of the river trips were upper trips either from Prince to Thurmond or from Prince to Cunard, the gauge says it was running 14.5 feet and it came up to 16 plus this morning, but now it is going down. I even saw a duckie trip come into Cunard, that had to be exciting, fast moving brown water makes for a quick trip.
There was flooding in Raleigh and Wyoming Counties, the two counties immediately south of us. They have declared Raleigh County to be in a state of emergency.
Sharon and I don't worry too much about flooding, there is a 876 foot gorge right next to us for any excess water to go.
