That SMiller guest post at Heckasac got me going like a three-chord Nar song. But I’m kickin it family style in the 820, so all I want to do is open a forum for discussion of the craziest local spots to watch the rivers rising. I nominate the Northgate offramp on 160, which, if you notice on your way back to midtown from returning that sweater at Sears, is almost completely covered.

Not to worry, Mr. DMZ, I think the personals section of craigslist was down that day. What was heckasac/miller going to do for material?

I’d say the most dangerous spots to watch the rivers rising are as you’re driving over any of our bridges and catching a glimpse as you’re zooming by at 50-75 mph. You see the American River in your peripheral vision, then slow down a tad and look again going, “WHOA, the river is high!” Then you notice that the souped up Honda Civic that was trying to pass you on southbound Howe (when it goes from three lanes to two at Swarthmore) is now driving in the shoulder still trying to pass you, and you need to get your eyes back on the road. Another choice spot is on southbound I-5 near the Fruitridge exit where you can see the Sacramento River creeping higher each day. Being a Pocket-dweller for almost nine years now, I keep close tabs at this particular vantage point (sometimes closer tabs than others, depending on the speed of traffic.)
