that looks like a terrific camping area.
When we are heading towards NC or Ga We make our 1st stop at Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River RV Park even though it isn't a full days

We get a kick out of watching the tug boats with their barges. WOW what power.

As far as tne flooding. Yeah it is a pain, Yesterday the short road we live on nad both bridges washed away. one at each end of road.We had no way out.

Its one of the pleasures of this part of the world where a lot of us are prepared for most anything. Because "most anything" keeps happening.
