Geeez..you guys got snow there?(I know, I know..just kidding)
Love the second pic. What's all the white box-like things on the trees at the river bank?

Rich, those white boxes are actually rings of ice. That is how high the water was
recently.
I really like the 2nd picture also.
Taking the pictures on the hill made me nervous. Pull the "E" brake ,put it in gear
and move quickly. All the while hoping it doesn't roll down the hill.

I was on a dirt road also last week. We have just the opposite problem, our river is so dried up I could driven across it   :005:

Thanks for the pictures.   It's nice to see that you have it out and that you are driving it.

6cyl57, they must not use salt out there. Our roads are horrible with salt.

they use so much salt in northern Illinois, that you might as well be in Bonneville!

Ain't that the truth!  WI is the same, my Christmas trip home resulted in a two tone truck, white on the sides and red on the top....

Packed my lunch and headed to the river, still nothing more then a trickle but the dirt roads were fun. I almost found a flat place to park. I may need to put truck tires on the back next time  :003:

   I sure do wish that I could get out and go for a drive to the river or just any place with an old car. 
   Don't you feel just a little bit guilty that you can go out any time of the year for a drive with your car?   It just ain't right. 
    Jim ....   Your car is just stunning .  Jay

Thank you Jay. I can't feel guilty, no control over mother nature. I wish you guys in the north could get out. The forecast for the weekend is 90 and I'm not ready for that yet. And I feel like a damn fool working on my windshield wiper switch this morning  :003:

Jeff, nothing would make me happier then swapping some of this heat for some moisture but I don't think the Old Bag sees things our way.
