River on Fire!

The back road. You'll be happy to know I didn't try to drive across.

Cooks parking lot. There is a bridge across the creek to the Staff House (building in the background). Kind of a moot point right now

Water has backed up almost to the staff house. Notice the propane tank almost under water. The bridge across the creek is completely covered.

Good thing it never rains that much during the Summer, otherwise the camp would be in trouble.

Amazing! How fast did the water rise? And has it reached its peak?
