boating season interrupted

we had a sad day today as we had to pull our ski boat out of the water due to a rapidly rising lake level (it would have floated off of it's lift!)

our cabin is on a lake which is essentially a widening of the rock river, which has swelled its banks (and is still rising) due to extremely high rainfalls this past weekend

the lake is expected to crest at 5.5 feet ABOVE normal lake levels

anyway, this is a shot from my iPhone as I drove the boat to the boat landing for trailering . . .
