SLLS The flood water Recede

After breakfast this morning at a restaurant with a view of 'lake 141' (the normally dry highway 141 and interstate 44 intersection) we went out the the SLLS club facilities to view the flood damage.

The good news is the water rose only the bottom of the electric meter box on the outside, or just the bottom third of the containers. Our track has been lifted off the roadbed but is all intact and none of the roadbed was washed out. It looks like the only thing we lost was one roll of new fabric underlayment, which I did not see anywhere in the park. The skim of mud coating the floor and ground is nothing compared to the filth and muck I saw after the 1993 flood in Chesterfield. Our efforts last week paid off and on the whole the damages are minimal.



Now the cleanup begins.
