This spring the water was 125 yards from the house now it's about 1/2 of that. The GPS reads a 40 foot difference between the low point on the road and my driveway in front of the house. We moved my buddies mini cabin yesterday up another 30 yards as the water was kissing the front of it. Last edited by Law Dog; 09/14/19 04:14 PM.

It will take years to get back to "normal" but the rats they will come so it should be a hoot any way it goes. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst

Some years it rocks for ducks and geese depending on the cover, just shoot the geese right off of the porch. Last edited by Law Dog; 09/14/19 07:08 PM.

Some years I would get rats on the roads and in town when I was working several in a week got a few calls on main street in the store fronts. After a few years they were gone.
