Hello Bill,
Just thumbing through some pictures this morning and came across this one taken @ "Condo Beach" behind Two Branch Island late last summer. It really brightened my day with how the river is treating us this year. That would be my 16 year old daughter, Abigail, in the back of the boat obviously wishing she was at the mall instead.
Thanks for the site.

Our
River Pictures and e-mail of The Day...Saturday... were sent
in by Wayne Reinwald. It's pictures of the flood
waters as the were last Saturday.
Bill,
These were taken yesterday 4-28-08 around Two Branch Marina and Hwy C. Jeff, Pat, and Jose (River Bend Marina) were out clearing debris from the road that floated on. There were a couple trucks that drowned out trying to get to the river. I guess we are all really ready to get out in our boats, even though I didn't see one out on the water.
Best regards,
Wayne Reinwald

Ma Belle was a one of a kind boat in her day! Designed by Capt'n Joe
Stork and the East Grand Boat Yard. It had all of the latest features of
it's time... everything from a CO2 system to a 110 volt hot water heater and
3kw generator.
40 feet in length, weighing in at 20 tons with a 86 horsepower diesel
engine. Her 300 gallon fuel tank would enable the houseboat
to travel 1200 miles.
The boat has been featured in the Globe Democrat, National Geographic and in
the magazine "River Currents".
Now it sits in this harbor off of Dardenne Slough rusting away in the mud !
