Gramma & Grampa provided some babysitting for GP while we ran CP up the far north edge of Lincoln for a Cub Scout tennis outing at the Nebraska Tennis Center. All the scouts got a nice taste of tennis from the drill Sargent instructor that was able to keep all the boys in check.
The morning after another night of heavy rains, we drove around the neighborhood to check out the damage. The normally artificial rivers at Wilderness Ridge had turned into real rivers with waterfalls and rapids. Too bad we do not have a kayak.
This is the Big Blue river in Beatrice on the Monday following the big rains. It's normally 20' below the bridge and only a few inches deep most of the year. Shortly after I took this picture the city closed the bridge (highway 136).
The flood overran the city's sewage plant, so the town just dumped all their raw sewage into the river for a couple days. This underscores the point that rivers are not a good place to swim or drink from.
