The river is 5 feet below flood stage in N'Awlins and the projections keep it at the same. How can it be fixin' to flood in Gramercy?

No, there is a spot that we hunt in cat island and the water level is controlled by the river. 2 weeks ago it was bone dry and a few days ago when we hunted there was 3 or 4 feet of water. Just wanted to see how fast it was rising...

Looks like it's fixing to crest. My fishing camp is just north of there, so I usually keep a close eye on it since the river affects our lake.

It's not fixing to flood .They have just said that if you have not built your bon fire yet that you can not drive any more center post so you are to late.I guess once water starts coming up the levee they stop it.

thats another reason we just built a box, none of us felt like digging a hole into gravel.

Going there today to finish up ours. We're the first by the bridge so. I'll be up top finishing some boxing and gutting if my help gets over his vgitis

We dug a hole with shovels instead of post hole digger and we leaned them outer poles up on that center pole and that damn thing like to have come down on me and everyone else.
