Mooseman Flooding
Due to the heavy rains of the past 7-10 days, there has been some serious flooding in the Bristol / Newfound Lake area of New Hampshire. Here is the latest from race director Keith Jordan at the Mooseman / Timberman forum..."Just got back from Newfound and Wellington State Park. NOT GOOD. Right now, the park is about 3 feet underwater. The ENTIRE park...There is no beach, the water goes all the way to the parking lot. Bristol has been evacuated as well, as there is a strong fear of the dam collapsing. There are several roads that are underwater, but all are intact right now. This is as bad a thing as I've seen in this area since I've been alive. Truthfully, I don't know where we stand right now. I spoke with the Park Ranger (whose house is partially underwater), and his best advice was to wait until the beginning of next week. Also talked with the Fire Dept. Their advice was the same. We're working hard to find a solution, and will keep everyone posted. Alot will depend on how quickly water will dissipate from the beach/park area. There seems to be a respite coming, with only showers the next couple of days. However, more rain is expected for Thur-Friday"

Hey guys! I am so proud of all your hard work. You are doing more than I could ever dream of. Maybe one day Chuck and I can join the fun. Give us about 15 years to get the kids grown a little. Until then we will stay on the treadmill in the garage (with mase in hand and always facing the door). We are without a doubt coming in August for the Mid Summer Night's Run and are so excited. We are running 5Ks here and there, whenever we get a chance. I have really enjoyed reading the Tour de Moose blog. The pictures are beautiful.
I have this blog account from a folklore class in graduate school. I haven't checked it or updated it in months. I don't know if you are going to be able to read it, don't laugh if you do. Just remember, I was being graded!!
Good luck to you all in your training. I am thinking about you and I want everyone who reads this to know that the four people writing this blog are super awesome. Wonderful friends and I can't wait until the next time we all get together again. Love ya!
