This is Route 11..about 14 miles outside of town, heading towards Brownville. The heavy rains Monday and Tuesday took its tolls on our roadways. The road was closed to traffic both ways until DOT could get it fixed. As of 9 pm tonight the road has been reopened. There are many of the sides of the road that are washed out and very deep. And quite a few areas on the road were covered with debris due to the water covering the roads.
This is the Underpass on the Lake Road. This road goes to the mountain. The people on the other side had to travel to the lake and then back down the golden road to get to town. There are many houses with flooded basements all over town today.
The town has had school buses in the past to get the residents from one side to the other, but this year the water was too high for that. The road is still closed tonight. Word on the street is that they will be opening Rip Dam tonight and that will cause even more flooding to us and all the way downstream to the ocean. So glad I live on this big hill away from all that. We do not get water very often in the cellar, but when we do it's usually a good one! No water again today down there.
This is the Millinocket Foundry in town. They had the water running right through their business today. The men and women went to work and it was business as usual for them.
Finished the two fronts on the hooded cardigan tonight and started the two sleeves. I hope I can get this finished soon and in the mail to Texas. Then I can finish the other hooded sweater for Sarah and then the wool lace skirt I have been working on for my DIL.
KNIT ON!

You sure do have some flooding going on there! Is it a combination of rain and snow melt? When you go to camp, are you there all summer? If you are, I will miss you comments to my blog.
