Water Over the Bridge
February 11, 2008
When I went out to the property the other day to meet the "bulldozer guy," I noticed the water was up about a foot or so and flowing over the low water bridge.
The water was only about 4 inches deep on the bridge - safe enough to drive over.
Here’s the view from the other side of the bridge.
A closer look. Yes, the water really is that blue… due to the high levels of dissolved Limestone.
It was cold, so I let Jenna and John start a fire.
The Jack’s Fork.

I had to check on the bridge again on the way out. It’s still there - minus a chunk of concrete that fell off.
Look for more bulldozer pictures tomorrow.

No pictures of the roads??? And you allowed Jenna and John to start a fire by themselves? I guess it is good that we live in MO where nothing burns. :) Looking forward to tomorrow.

What are the lime green letters on the low water bridge?
Will you have to drive over this same bridge to get to your house/property all the time?
Is there ever a danger in it being to high to go over and if so, how often?
Photos sure are “purty”! :)

The bridge is past our property. The folks on the other side of the bridge can go the other way. It’s a big loop to the highway. During very heavy rains it will flood our camping area but we will know before it happens. :)

Love the pictures! Our family loves looking at all that is unfolding.

[…] Little Pine Creek flowing into the Jack’s Fork from the left. Go here to see the water levels about a week ago. To see more normal levels, take a look here. […]
