Springtime high water is not a new thing. No date. Bridge over the Nowood Creek.

High Water
After work today, I buzzed up the mountain just to see how Ten Sleep Creek was doing in the canyon. It was wild in town, but the canyon is rougher and tougher… and here it is about three times it’s normal size… just below Leigh Creek Monument. And down lower near the Wigwam Rearing Station… …
Wonderful/Whew!
We attended Vernon’s uncle’s birthday party this afternoon. It was Uncle George’s 100th birthday! That was quite the deal… the governor of Wyoming said so!… and it was lots of fun visiting with everyone. Spring has hit hard here… every little slope, drainage, gully, wash, draw, ravine, and rut has water pouring down it. Enough…
One of the Holes in Our Lives
Hiking along a few weeks ago… technically it was May 3rd… I snapped a quick shot of the newly worked field next to the creek… the red bank above was catching the sunset light… and I liked the brown/blue/red combination. Not a great photo. I take tons of *notgreatphotos*. I just don’t usually share them!…
Infrastructure
A Lesson On Infrastructure. “Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.” Even to me, it was very obvious that this bridge had sustained damage in the floodwaters of a few days ago. Where before this had spanned a sweet little stream… It’s now an island…
Still Watching and Waiting
To everyone that sent your concerns, well-wishes, and prayers… thank you so much! It means a great deal that people across this country care what happens to us. We’re healthy, the cows are ok, and all this causes for us is WORK. Please keep the people that have lost their homes, belongings, family members, and…
Flood
We knew it was coming… and it’s a long ways from being over. We’re hoping it’s crested for the night, another 6-8 inches and Daniel’s basement will be in serious trouble. As it was, we managed to keep up with the inflow with a wet/dry vac and we hauled 90% of my stuff out of…
Here It Comes
Another day of rain. This time, the creeks have decided it’s finally time to come up. That’s Canyon Creek. This is the Nowood River close to the highway. And finally, further north… Here’s Otter Creek. Ten Sleep Creek hasn’t come up, at least in town. But for those of you north of here (and downstream)……
Highwater
We had high water in the Nowood just a few weeks ago. It was a typical spring thaw… melting the snow on the Big Horns. Then it snowed again. And again. Not so much here, but at 8,000 feet? Oh, yes. Then it has rained. And rained. Sorry to the outstanding people of Nashville, whose…
So Much to Tell
It has been forever…and there is so much to tell. I guess I can start with some of the latest news and work backwards. It has rained and rained and rained and rained and snowed and snowed and rained here… We’ve had 2 weeks of wet weather, but the last four days have been phenomenal. …
