First Big Camping Out Weekend Looks To Be On Hold!
This past week has been a wet one, so wet in fact that roads are closed all over Montana from swollen creeks, streams and rivers. Lots of "I've never seen water in "Dry Creek" before, and I've been here 30 years!
Flat land that has just a minimal slope, is suffering from flooding as well, septic drainfields are flowing backwards, into homes, and basements are wet, if not flooded, just from the rain.
How much rain? Over 6 inches for the month of May, and our yearly average is about 15 inches! The snowpack in the mountains is over 200% of average, in many places, and this hasn't melted yet either!
Rumors, some which turn out to be true have been updated on the facebook pages, along with pictures of scenes of water inundated roads, (some parts missing).
Just stay home this Memorial Day Weekend! With a little bit of heat, the snow in the Mountains will melt and you could find yourself stranded, for days! You may not be able to even get to your camping spots right now!
Just put your camping trip on hold, for now, and let's see how the rest of this weather system goes over the next week.
I think my huckleberry picking trip the end of July may be delayed, hope there's still berries!
