Flooding

With the huge flood in Colorado the water has finally made it's way down the Platte River.  My parents went to their place last week to stake everything down (duck blind, deer stands, etc) and prepare for the worst.  They spent almost the entire week there waiting for the water to arrive; however it never did.  They went back to Kansas for the week and then....it all decided to come.  My parents place is actually about a 1/2 mile from the actual river; however, the water is all the way up to the edge of their place. My dad said at spots it is 6-7 feet deep.

Here is a picture of the road they built out to the river.  It is now completely under water.

Below are the pictures of the water that is all the way up to the edge of their place.  Lots and lots of water.
