A friend who arrived at Portland Monday said the fairgrounds was a muddy mess with mounds of dirt all over the grounds.  The county was pulling out concessionaires from the County Fair with a 4 wheel drive tractor.  Then they got 5" of rain in 2 hours overnight.  He said this morning the entire town was barricaded off on all sides with Main St flowing water over the sidewalks.  No way to get back into the fairgrounds to check on his stuff.  A service garage near the grounds had water to mid height of the overhead doors.  The north road going east from the Hoosier Inn had 2' of water over the road.  No comments on the VMBC website.

Not looking good.

Tom says he has been riding his bikes on the fairgrounds today, so it must be getting better.

They're looking for volunteers for the sandbag brigade downtown there. Pics I've seen show everything wet or muddy. One way into the fairgrounds because of flooded entrance .
  I'm going though but dropped plans to camp. I had gnats bite me so bad last week I needed a hospital visit and shots so I'm not staying in a swamp .
 Hope to see you all there and get many pictures!

I talked to my friend again this morning.  The sun is out, the water has gone down, and he was taking his golf cart into town for breakfast.

Although it may have appeared that I fell off the face of the earth, Sonya & I are still kicking.  We have a high school reunion this weekend, so won't arrive till Sunday afternoon unfortunately.  Save a few bargains for us!

Sorry I've not been active with the group for a while, but I've had too many things going on all at the same time....just not enough hours in the day!!!  I actually pulled up the roster today at lunch & will be working on updating it.  I know several guys have written  to me with updates.

Good to hear Mike.  I wasn't sure if we would see you this year.  Do you have the Servi running?
