In spite of the 128 inches of rain we have had since January, many of the drought sstricken lakes are still only 30-40% full up from 6-8% . It's numbers like that that make you think.
now why couldn't some of that rain that flooded your back yard come here instead where we need water too. thinking more about it is a good thing for everyone. hoping the water recedes quickly, the dogs have land again and there's a sunny mild windless day for you to ride in very soon...
