Well It looks like we are going to have to clean up. Flooding and more rain till Monday. Why events have not let out information on there statis I don't know. There will be little flying for a while, hope our event here turns out next week.
To those in my area, don't take any chances!

A lot of people will be grounded for a long time here in the 51st State lol Jokes aside I live on the So. Platte river and what a mess told we would have this for a week or 2. All highways in and out of here are closed. Still have power but sanitation is out and water is a question mark in some parts of town. Hey Wally World is still open, Bringing in Porta Potty's. Internet Roads are muddy but dry, Dry but wet with rain falling lol.
P.S. All my planes are dry!

I just left there yesterday and you folks certainly have my sympathies. We were there for the WOTR event and were staying in Denver. What should have been an hour and ten minute drive to the flying field averaged about 2 hours or more and took nearly 3 1/2 hours on Friday afternoon. Seems like every bridge we tried to cross had been closed about 20 minutes before we got there! We had to go east all the way to CR61 to get across and even it was closed Friday evening when we left the field in an attempt to get back to Denver. We wisely decided to pack up and get out of Dodge on Saturday evening since it looked like Sunday was going to be a bust anyway. Good thing we did or our trailer would probably still be stuck in the mud at the field! Best wishes for a speedy return to some assemblance of normalcy to you folks in the affected areas.
