I knew that the flood concerns were at their highest level yet in Northern California this winter, with two dozen major river segments now at “monitor” stage, but I had to see it to really believe it. Wow. I was not prepared to walk my bike, waist-high, over and under and through the woods and am paying for it today with no dry socks. The Del Paso Boulevard floodgate was a real sight, too.
Here’s a slideshow of some photos I took this morning on my way in. Starting around mile 3 of the American River Parkway.
AAAA!!! Highest water levels in almost FIVE years! Head for the hills!

Oh. Around mile 3. Just like you wrote. Sorry. Did you go all the way up to Howe Ave?

I was heading northwest from there. Had to cross Del Paso Boulevard and then up and over Arden Garden Connector.

Aren’t all bikes about waist high?
