I have two pics of our property from that flood - we live right in the bend near poorhouse. We were cleaning 30' tall tree's out of our slew for weeks as the water subsided. I had firewood for like 2 years piled up for both me and my neighbor.

If I remember correctly, that was the year the water patrols (Hufaker's) boat got away from the dock at Riverside along with a few others and floated to the dam before anyone noticed. There was a nice picture of one of the boats in one of the local papers just banging away against the dam.

The good thing about a flood is it pulls all the trash down the river cleans up the poorly built docks and saves a hard weekend of volunteer time when the "sweep the shores" campaign is going on. :o)
