OKAY....did I say we needed a little rain? BIG FLOOD! Photo is of the back yard at 6am, the trail behind our back gate after building the big berm at the bridge (the photo with Kelly standing in it). The one with the track hoe is across from Ben Wong's IN BLAIRMORE! Yep - east side of Blairmore evacuated, schools called it a day, Sparwood road is supposed to be closing....haven't seen cars for a while going over the top so maybe that is true....our neighbor Troy said the road from the mine at Sparwood where they were held til this afternoon was not good...I think Curt putting photos of the Lakes on his facebook later when we get things more under control. My girlfriend Kelly came and got our kids, trailer, truck and horses and took them to our friend Shawn's east of Pincher - thank you!!!! Stu and Theresa got my call at 6am and Stu and Bob were here in no time and started building berms and getting the water to stop jumping its banks - Great to have friends like that! They own Three River Rentals - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM LOLOLOL. This old house ....man it is a rock! I cannot believe how it weathers this so gracefully. Good to be built on bedrock! Anyway...hold off on coming to do any quadding cause everyone is in emergency mode and you do not want to add your name to the list of people requiring emergency assistance. Road to Tent Mtn at the Welcome to AB sign is washed out and with our berm at our bridge there is only the Tent Mtn pass or McCool pass to get out. There's some guys stranded there right now! ...Paul.(from Ghostriders)..its your brother...but they in good spirits and on high ground. You can hear rocks rolling in the creeks - I am talking VERY LARGE BOULDERS - and you can hear them sliding on the mountain ridges - sounds like thunder. Should be very interesting quadding the new landscape - you may find you can't go where you once went or that there are new ways to go places you have never been. Thank you to all our friends checking in on us - Chantelle....Baileys please....I am out. Cheers! V
