Oconee River Flooding

[Will]

First off,   {nln} Photobucket

This is the highest I've seen the river so I thought i would post some pics. Enjoy!



These are all taken about 200 yards or so from the actual river bed.














These were taken at River Rock this morning








Entrance to Rat Hole

Holy crap! How many feet over normal level is the river?

I'm not sure. I'll see if I can find that out. It's freakin' high though   how is the Okmulgee looking in Macon?

Great photos.  Where are the ones of you trying to cross it?   

I just checked the level of Lake Sinclair and it must have flooded the yard completely yesterday as it was above full pool.

anyone has picture of the rat hole in regular conditions?  just for comparison.

Ah, it probably did man. I haven't driven over the lake though.

I will never do that crossing again unless I can see at least half of the t-posts.  

Notice that there's nothing showing today. There are t-posts, vertical gas line access tubes, and some pretty tall grass under there. I know that the big cylinder at the far end before the river is about 4-5 feet tall. I'm guessing it's about 6-8 feet in the middle of the "trail"  :hlp

I'll try to find one that shows a good comparison. Mike in the start from the last ride comes to mind   :   {nln}

Which mike?  haha

I don't think I saw the rat hole the first time I was at river rock is why i'm asking.

Not a great one, but it shows that there's no water there. There's usually no water within 200 yards of the rat hole.

This is from Mark's photobucket. From Fall Crawl
