Guess you won't be using the restrooms either. That's an incredible photo. We could always kayak along the towpath.

do you suppose there's still a towpath underneath there or did it get washed away?

[Zen]

I have every confidence it's still there.
Do you have scuba gear?

[Cataboo]

I have snorkeling gear & a waterproof camera that you can borrow.

Take pictures when you find the towpath.

Why, yes I do, but you won't catch me using it in that mess.

The clean up will be something!

I wonder how long it will take to dry out after the water recedes?

Looks a little like the first floor of my house did last week. But that's a whole 'nother story. :)

NO! So sorry to hear that. Do you live by a creek or river?

It was a man-made disaster. :) Rupture to the hose going into the washing machine. While I slept. No idea how long it went on, but I was ankle deep at least in part of that floor.

I am calling it the most extreme way to jump start spring cleaning and house organizing.

My husband rode the C&O towpath last year in May and he has the SAME picture...the roof of the Bathrooms showing. They could not even camp as the campgrounds were under water. He stayed at a bunch of B&B's instead. Wow, that is high water.

It usually takes a disaster such as yours to get me to do some major organizing around my house. There's just way too much to do outdoors than be inside organizing.

Let's see if this works:
