Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
like i said, we had countless slides all over the place...like this unfortunate guy down the road from me, don't think the geo-techs are gonna let him move back in.
thought it was just another slide, till ya drive around it and see where it came from....poor guy.. ![]() slides all over... worst part imo is we lost pretty much every back road and FSR road. me and the dawgs have not been able to get down pretty much every single back road we tried. the valley will look a lot different for riding next summer. there was never a river or creek in this area, took out approx 3 miles of the road |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I have friends just outside of Abbotsford that are still trying to save their home and business from flooding caused by a landslide. The rains just keeping coming without let up making things worse.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
big prob now is all the lumber that came down...it's like this everywhere on every river & creek
the river actually came up over this back road, ate a bunch of the bank away too. that's silt and mud from the river under the snow this little puddle down the road from me. it caught a couple cars, me and wifey went thru here later and there was a swamped out honda and a chryco 300 sitting there at least it ain't raining anymore...... darn, i'm really hating the shovel right now... ![]() |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
the waters are receeding out here now
the military choppered in a bunch of pumps. this pump station was built in the '20's (with upgrades over the yrs) there is 4 massive pumps in there, they have never run all 4 at once, and never at full bore, for 7 days they were all going full blast and they we worried about one pump going down, it would have allowed the river to start backflowing in again. at the peak it was pumping over 650 000 gpm authorities kicked all boats out of the flood area except for emergency personal. you got yahoos like this guy making waves compounding damage to people houses and property's about the only damage no one regrets is this little turnaround on the highway...this is where 5-0 usually sits. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Today at one of streams running off the reservoir. He/she was perched on a limb about 10 ft from the road I stopped but couldn’t get the camera out fast enough before it took flight .

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
We have a lot of Bald eagles around here now . 10 years ago there were just a couple nesters but they have had on average 2 to 3 hatchlings early spring so they multiply expedentially.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
My area got about 5" of snow but thankfully majority of it has melted off of the main roadways.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Is that big boy a Deutz?
Yes it does. I'll take a foot of snow over freezing rain any day. I have 4" of fresh snow to push off once the sun comes up.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I've never heard of a Fendt either. I first saw a Deutz tractor at the first tractor pull I ever attended. It amazed me with it'd torque. My dad said German Panzer tanks were Deutz powered. You know, Diamond Reo tried producing Deutz powered trucks. They had a distinctive look. The first "ant eater". They did not go over well, possibly for the lack of heat
Running this must have been a hateful job ![]()
