No drought here - no boat launch either!
My buddy swung by my favorite boat launch at lunch today. Looks like the start of the season may be a few more weeks out so to speak...
No way in hell the weather man is going to call a drought possibility this summer. No way.... I've lived here 14 years and I've never seen the water that high.
On a brighter note, looks like I have more time to get my projects done and not feel like I'm in a mad rush.
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

That my friend is the Columbia river at the Port of Vancouver launch or Portco as we usually refer to it... Just a little upstream from the I-5 bridge.

Just remembered I had taken this one on October 1 last fall - same launch and dock. Check out the difference.
Check out the little yellow sign on the first piling in both shots. Now that's A LOT of water!So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Our lake is also closed to flooding. 25ft above full pool. They say with no rain, it'll drop 1ft a day with the flood gates open. Well Heck, that puts us into mid June if no rain. HA, 10 day forcast calls for 8 days with rain....
Also wanted to do a tie-up on the Ohio river in Cincinatti where you pull up to the Ampitheater and can listen to concerts for free. Doesn't look like that's happening till July. Gonna miss Motley Crue =-(
