The sun was shining when we arrived on Friday, ready to unload.

|
|
|
Other than a cool breeze, the day, and the river, was beautiful.

The first evening got a little chilly, but the campfire was warm, and the waters and skies were still blue.
|
|
|

|
Saturday it rained and rained. We took shelter from the storm under the tarps and in the tent.
|
|
|
|
Sunday morning, it was wet, flooding, and foggy.
|
|
|
|
The fog rose from the risen waters, and clouded the view of the hills.
|
|
|
|
This is where the water was when we emerged from our tent on Sunday morning.

Sunday morning, after Saturday's day-long rain, the river rose to meet us.
|
|
|
|
The water falls let us know the water would keep rising.
|
|
|
|
Around 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, the river crested -- about two feet from our campfire.
|
|
|
|
You can see how close it came to overtaking our camp site.
