Taylorton Bridge No Longer Under Water

A day makes a difference.  The Souris water level has dropped a couple of feet in the past 24 hours. 

Here is Taylorton Bridge as of this afternoon

River is still high

Lovely blue sky and puffy clouds

Tracks in the silt on the washed-over road.  Mink, I think

Not quite idyllic, but getting better.....

Taylorton Bridge is Under Water!

I have never seen this before. 

This is the Souris River, at Roche Percee Park, east of Estevan.

Roche Percee and more Souris River flooding photos to come....

WaterWorld at Oungre Park

Oungre Park.  You know, The Park, as it was referred to when I was growing up in the area...well, it's sort of under water at the moment.  (By the way, click on the pix to enlarge, if you want to.)

There's no space between the water and the bottom of the bridge

The ball diamond is under water - happens most years - just not this much water

A bunch of trailers and RVs were parked over there

Most have been relocated to the parking lot.

The park has a different name now, something like Souris Valley Community Complex (I should have taken a photo of the sign....).  It is located about a mile north of Oungre, SK on Hwy #35.  Quite a nice little spot.
