We finally have our moat! The garden is completely washed away. And now we're starting to wonder if our bridge will get washed away too. Plus it is STILL raining....


During a pause in the rain, Tim brought over the airboat for a little fun. At least we're making the most of this mess!


But with the looming threat of Saylorville going over its dam within the next few days (if not later today), Curtis made the executive decision to head over to Morningstar and fly the plane over to Ankeny. The next pic shows how close Morningstar's grassy runway is to being under water already.


While headed over to Ankeny airport, Curtis cruised by the Saylorville spillway and got another perspective on the flooding. They haven't raised the emergency gates yet, but the water is getting close to Flood of 93 levels.



The plane is now safely tied down at the Ankeny airfield. And our creek has started to recede so the yard is no longer underwater at the moment. But yep, it's raining again....
