We knew the park we were pulling into was built on a flood plain but we thought the Spring melt was done so the river would not rise any higher. But this summer had been rainier than most and the river is still rising.
The main campground access road:
Badminton, anyone?
Playground? Or, worse yet, dump?
It’s a good things those of use still here are self-contained since you have to wade to get to the bathrooms.
Water hydrant–just in case someone should need water.
No wake zone?
For the last few days people have been moving to drier ground. Most people that, is.
Even the cabins are moving.
So we moved, too. Up a row and facing the other way so we can keep a better eye on the river.
We have two more days until the predicted crest of the flood. We are now positioned where we can back out of our current site and take the still dry back road out of here if the water comes too close. In the meantime, we still have the full hookups we paid for while all the others who moved on up to the meadow at top of the hill are now boondocking in this heat and humidity.
And I just watched a guy pulling a 5th wheel take the wrong road so now he is trying to do a u-turn in a flooded area. We’re better off than he is, right? Right?
TTYL,

Wow – please keep a close eye on that river. They were sandbagging one of the campgrounds in Kalispell that was on the river. Lots and lots of water this year. Stay safe.
Oh my! You know you really don’t have to stay there. You could move and not have to worry about needing a boat. This has been some year for funny weather. Be careful.
