Road trip

Today we took a road trip to Sicamous and around Mara Lake to Grindrod and Enderby.

At Sicamous the signage was redundant!

The entrance to the beach and playground area was totally submerged.

This area would normally be full of visitors with picnic baskets.

Instead the garbage containers are full of water and the tables are submerged.

The boat launch in Enderby has been swamped by the rushing waters of the Shuswap River.

The marker indicated that the river level was almost at 12 feet.

We saw sandbagging at several properties around Mara Lake and on the shoreline of the river.

There is another 10-14 days before the lakes and river reach peak levels.

With a stormy weekend ahead, there could be massive flooding.
