The Hubster, Grandchildren and I went to Monroe, LA yesterday afternoon. We wanted to see the Mighty Mississippi River at its highest level, so off we went to Vicksburg. My pictures are not something to behold...the river, however, is! Hub was driving like Dale Earnhart Jr. across the bridge, and Granddaughter and I were having a very difficult time snapping shots.

If you will look carefully at the picture above, you can see nothing but water...there is a little slice of land in the upper right area. But that is mostly trees.
Blurry photo, but normally several feet of sand can be seen in the pic above; not today.
Up we go into the wild blue yonder...he won't slow down for anything!!! Help!
Coming off the bridge on the LA side...water, water everywhere.
Look very carefully on the right half way up and you will see lots of water...it was truly everywhere. See just above the concrete barrier on the right.
Heading home from the LA side.
Again, very blurry, but you can get an idea of the width of the river.
Welcome home....thank goodness!
The hills were covered with blooming white oakleaf hydrangea...beautiful.

Remember those who've lost their memories in this flood.
The power of this river was something to behold.
