Water, water everywhere.......

Seems flood water has closed I 29 between Fargo and Grand Forks. Last year I had to drive through 4" to 6" of water on the highway in many places. Of concern with with a small 1988 Mazda RX7 convertible with not much free-board!
I wonder how high the water will be if I was able to join you fellows on the appointed weekend? I probably would have packed my waterwings.
Good thing I'll be working with my Hunter Ed kids that weekend so there will be a payoff.
Damn, I sure hope I can make it next year! Hope one day they can make Easter an annual fixed weekend, as a good Catholic I really can't see a problem with that in this day and age. Really.
It sure messed up my Flatwater attendance this year.

Mike...can't you reschedule your hunters safety class??? C'mon man. :x Kids are patient, adults much less so. We want you at Flatwater, so get your limey ass down there! :wink:

Now if I remember, on I 29 they let you drive into the water and if your car stalls they push you thru with a big state truck with lowered bumpers? :roll:

Bumper would have to be very low to push on my RX7 rear bumper, Digger!
Can't reschedule the kids' Hunter Ed, Dustin, it's the only weekend we can do it, between hockey and ball, and have been doing it for years.
A late Easter really messed me up. I was so looking forward to Flatwater, too.

Water all over this part of WI as well--including over my driveway. Gone down significantly now, but my causeway's in bad shape.
