    The oak i dropped last weekend decided to escape. It was dry until yesterday now they are heading down the creek. They won't make it through the new culvert downstream though. Think i should call the town hall and ask them to bring em back?

    Looks like that score is washed up...or in this case down stream! Any chance of retrieving it?

    Some, maybe. But most will wind up in the land of eternal mud. One of my boots went to its grave in that area and I'm not going back.

    Probably a fair bit over a cord I'd guess. 4' logs on 10' pallet give or take 3-4' high. I don't know if the pallet went also.

    Umm yeah, we've gotten a lot of rain the last couple days.

    Screwloose , how much rain did you get? What River is that? The Root?

    That sucks about the wood though...

    I'll watch the local news for a tree clogging the culvert.:whistle:

    It's just a local creek that goes west ending up at the fox river. Never seen this much water.

    Maybe it’ll work like the tide and end up coming back in to you when the waters recede. We can always hope, right? Good luck to you!
