Ice Jam

All day at work anyone who came down 87 to us at the bank was talking about the huge ice jam at the Lions park. They said we really must go see it if we had time....

So when I got home Mark, the girls, and I jumped in the van and headed down by the river. Bret was at confirmation so he missed it.

A little background for those of you who are not familiar with SCF. We live right along the St Croix River, St Croix also has a hydro dam. The lions park is along the St Croix. This is a narrow part of the river so of course all of the melting ice and chunks from farther up north were getting all bunched up at this point. It was awesome to see!!!

Then Thursday the girls and I thought we would go drive by again in the morning ......

to our surprise it was all gone!!!

So we headed down to the overlook to see the water heading over the dam...

We were able the watch the chunks and debris going over

and the cool rainbow that was over seeing it all.
