...I wonder how harbor landing is doing?
This is nuts! A once a life time occurrence. I did not think I would ever experience a flood in my lifetime but here it is. Today is likely going to be the peak flow in many areas around Regina. We went out to Lumsden and Craven today to check everything out and the Qu'appelle has breached its banks. In Craven the Qu'appelle is so high that the river that flows from Last Mountain lake is actually flowing backwards and water from the Qu'appelle is filling the lake and the surrounding flood plain. The grandstands at the Jamboree ground is under water and my favorite little snack shack certainly is not serving up any burgers this weekend. At Lumsden the bridge in town is being sandbagged to save the town. The bridge is the only low spot in the town's dike because it was built before the last flood. Lumsden would be fucked without the dike, the water is at least 3 m higher then the foundations of the nearby houses.
WHAT A TIME TO HAVE A CANOE
Me and a pal are heading out to run some rapids this afternoon so hopefully I will have some more pictures up after. The survivor man trip is planned for the last weekend of April and I can not be more excited. (The trip where last year we barreled down the Wascana, forgot sleeping bags and tents as it went down to -12 and where we ended up eating a porcupine). There still should be tons of water left for the trip.
