Receding Rogue River

The Rogue River crested early this morning, but tell it to the rain.
Sounds like someone left the sprinklers on out there. Or some sort of weird random machine. It'll be interesting to see what has washed up out of the soil. Maybe I'll find another spearhead. I'm glad we didn't have any more land tilled or the big greenhouse up yet. 4800 square feet of this rain coming off a sheet of plastic would've been a bit to handle.
The flood watches are all still in effect for pretty much the entire Rogue valley. It looks like most if not all of the RVers on the river got their homes out in time. The travel-trailer pictured below was being hauled out last night around 9. If they'd left it no doubt it would've been ruined, the crest was still a foot or more away at the time.
