yep, that's my home- nearly al those pics are within a few miles of me. the
mall is just a couple of stop lights down the road- that lot floods every
time we have heavy rains. last time we had rain close to this, the road
leading into my ap't was wiped out- it just caved in. i guess they did a
good job "re-building" it; it survived this episode intact.

someone had the bright idea of building the town of boone on a flood
plain..........

still, and all, op and i decided to brave the high, speedy waters of the
watauga this afternoon for what we knew would be an unproductive fishing
trip. nearly got our *asses kicked* by that water!

sometimes, ya just gotta get out there.

thanks for postin' the pictures-
