It's a monster

We are just 10 minutes away from Sinks Canyon in Lander. These last couple days the town has been in flash flood warnings, because of the massive amounts of run offs that are coming down the mountain. It's amazing to see how much water there is! Here are a few pictures that we took a while back at the beginning of May, and then the pictures below are what the water looks like now! This is the 2nd highest that the water has ever been. I don't have pictures of it, but there is a big cave that you can go down in, which is called the sink of sink's canyon, it's where the water runs through this cave, and comes out about 1/4 mile down the road, but they've done dye tests, and it takes about 2 1/2 hours for the water to make it's way to the rise. It's really neat, we've walked down in the cave, and it's about 25 feet high. With the spring run off at record heights, the cave is completely filled with water, you can't even tell there is a cave there. These pictures don't do the Popo Agie River justice...that thing is a monster right now! It's unbelieveable. There are so many houses that have so many sandbags around them. It's frightening to see the water and hear it too! We've never heard it from our house, and it's right behind our house, and all night, the water is slashing and throwing stuff! In all reality, it's gorgeous, and very scary too!

This is the start of the flooding pictures.

i've never seen such a fierce river! The town of Hudson (right between Lander and Riverton) is completely flooded right now! They all run off well water, and they are out of water, because it's now all contaminated! We drove through last night, and all the roads but the main one are blocked off..well..like there is a TON of streets in Hudson, but you get the idea! It's a little frightening when it hits a little closer to home, and you actually witness the damage that this monster of a river can do!
