Default Rain Rain Go Away You Took Out My Range

Well in the past three days we have got 6 inches of rain. So much that all the creeks and streams are out of their banks. AND the snow melt has not happened yet. To my shooting range you have to cross over a creek. Well the creek is over the bridge and washing out the road around the bridge. So there is NO access to the range. Also there is atleast 10 homes along the creek past the bridge. I feel sorry for them. Also below the bridge is 30 plus homes that are flooded and a golf course. SO I really don't know when I will be able to shoot at that range again. I guess if I want to shoot will have to find some BLM or National Forest. Bummer deal. Just sucks for the home owners.

I feel for you 50calty. Fortunately I live on high ground and I shoot in old anthracite coal strip mines. But its been raining here seems like forever. Probably 50 days since march 1. It quit on Saturday and early Sunday enough to get the grass cut and go out and shoot a couple flinters on Sunday. But here it is Monday and its raining again and for the next few days.

what a shame. I hope the people that suffer from the flooding are ok. It would be horrible to loose everything like that. Maybe down the road, all will come back to normal for you.

we got some recent rain here last night. It looks like it wants to rain again which will be nice. We need the moisture badly.

You can have all the rain. Further south the Bighorn River is flooding and is covering the highway. So a major route has been shut down. Its a huge mess and will only get worse as the snow melts.
