It sounds like the flooding is going to be bad this spring all over. We have so much snow on the ground even if it thaws fairly slow it's still going to be a mess. I feel for anyone living in the affected areas.

I prefer lakes to rivers, just to many things floating plus the big waves. Does the high water there cause the river to be a no wake everywhere? We ran into that last year up here.

A good river stage for us is anything under13ft you can get in the islands 10ft all the beaches are out 7-8 you better no where your at sand bars are out and lurking . They dont no wake us till 21ft or so depends on if you get along with cabin owners cause they realy dont issue one its just a curtisy thing for the people that live inside the levee right on the river .Nope no nowake here they just wait till it gets realy fn high then kick us off river .I live where levee broke in 2008 and river was 7miles wide it was crazy .The shop we work on boats in is under my buddys house that sits 20ft off the ground beause it about 150 ft from river and being that close you have to be elavated to get insurance. I well post a pic of it.
