Out in the distance is a bathroom trailer which I had been fighting the state.....I now have record flood levels over the islands.....everything you see in that photo is a series of causeways and dry land.....the trailers at that location are elevated about 6 feet above the island surface......there is three to four feet of water running over the islands scouring my roads, my bridges, and destroying my surfaces which were all seeded and solid......my Bobcat has a problem with the hydraulic drive.....and I am simply too tired to fight anymore.....I think after 10 years of building my little retirement paradise.....I think I am giving up.........mother nature and the man upstairs makes man's efforts at certain times.....well.....mere folly.
As you look out to those trailers, there once was a series of causeways over the river which is usually ten feet lower....the damage will be in the 10s of thousands, and I simply no longer have the strength to sit in a machine for hours to do repairs........at least some of our boats and docks remain cabled and safe.....my wood splitter is sitting under four feet of water, and two of my trailers are under water......can repack bearings.......but not in my weakened state.....so I simply look in awe at the power of mother nature.....and finally admit utter failure trying to tame mother nature.
