Well, Anna and I are still in Tillamook, trapped for a week due to excessive flooding that closed all roads out of town.

This isn’t a lake! It’s a field where cows usually hang around and eat grass. The campers (as well as all the logs and fallen trees you see) floated down from at least a mile away:
Here’s one way out of town:

We’re actually leaving pretty soon. After lunch, I think.

Sounds like the roads are all open, if delayed in spots.
