Bob and all,
We are in the same boat... literally. We've had 4 inches of rain in the
last 24 hours and more to come all weekend. I believe we're the closest
to Rough River and this front isn't going anywhere. There is rain
forecast and IFR all weekend into next week here. I will be driving up
but I doubt there could be anyone flying in by the forecast I'm
getting. Dare we consider canceling and trying for another soon to be
nice weekend. I'm sure the fly-in / drive in attendance will be low
because of this weather.
