Flooding

 This is a field that has been flooded between the Green River and the White River. Because of the amount of snow we had this year the spring melt has been crazy. Some of the roads that Michael would normally drive on for work are closed because they are under water.
 








We went South of Ouray to see where the Green River has been flooding. The kids thought it was the coolest thing and so one time when I pulled over to let a truck pass me they wanted to get out and feel how cold it was. This area that they are standing on was a gravel drive off the highway before it was flooded. The area they are in the Green River and the White River have both flooded together.

In these next pictures this was a field, the tops of the fence posts are just barely visible above the water.
