Yep. The last time it was this high (when we were working as summer staff 12 years ago) there was a small gator in the little decorative pond close to the dining hall. We tried to catch it a few different times. It eventually moved on.

The river goes out of banks a few times a year, and gets pretty close to the yurts once a year or two. When DS was weeks old we had to park at our neighbor's cabin and wait for our houseguest (who had waded/swam home) to bring the camp truck and pick us up. That's been about 4 years. But all the flooding in North La is making this time a little different.

Sounds like a good pair of waders is needed.

Actually, I am not sure if I am indecisive or an idiot.

Nope sorry ya can't undecide what you've already decided.

Does the water ever bring any extra critters up with it when it gets that high?

There is a retention pond below the local WallyWorld that's supposed to handle the runoff from their parking lot. Because it's right next to the Monocacy river, it gets restocked every time the river floods. Pretty decent fishing, but it's slam full of Carp

Two years ago, my sister's house got flooded. Her bedroom and office were fully submerged, and the water almost went upstairs to the kids' rooms. The kids were glad that their father is an outdoorsman. He had canoes, and they got to paddle around the yard while their parents packed what they could. Good thing both parents are lifeguards too!

You already got some answers, but I'll show you ours. Not nearly as nice.

If you follow the road down the right, you can just make out the water. Usually you have to hike about a mile and jump down a bluff to get to the river. A couple of years ago we lost part of our bluff when it collapsed from flooding. The river is sandy bottomed, and all our ground is sand. Everything gets pretty shifty.



This is the trail to the river.

DH said the water is down from the flag he marked yesterday, but the national weather service is predicting the bridge on the highway will be underwater, which would be another 10-15+ feet.

Oh my goodness. Stay Safe!
