Rafferty Dam

High water at Rafferty Dam.  I've never seen the reservoir this high


Water is pouring over the spillway - apparently only so much to keep the water within the river banks (Souris) downstream



More than that is coming into the reservoir though, as every day I go out, the water is higher


This is the boat launch/marina at Rafferty a week ago


This is the boat launch yesterday


Seems like a good place to wash a truck - but, jeez, this guy had flip-flops on and there's still a layer of slushy ice on the main body of water...

  1. Wow, that's a lot of water! Yes, flip-flops is pushing the season just a little!
