Flooding

We have had a tremendous amount of rain and flooding this spring. The above dock has been underwater several times in the last few weeks, flooding the whole parking lot area. It finally went down enough for me to get down and take some pictures. This dock is a free dock on the Champlain Canal that runs through our area.

The water level is usually 3-4 feet below the edge of the dock. The canal has been so high that they have not even put out the buoys yet and the locks are not open. This is at least two weeks late.
