As we drove home from Wenatchee along Highway 28 last Thursday, all of a sudden we found traffic backed up for a couple of miles along the Wenatchee River. We had just passed Rock Island Dam and with traffic slowed to a stop and crawl, I was able to get some pictures of the outflow below the dam.
I don't know that I have ever seen such a large volume of water below the dam, nor have we ever seen it this high.
We finally got close enough to see the long string of vehicles going up the hill. We were passed by an ambulance heading back to Wenatchee and then by several highway department vehicles heading up.
As we got closer, we saw this vehicle upside down on the left side of the road. There was another vehicle in the ditch on the right side. All of that stuff on the ground appeared to be paper.
We never heard what had happened or how the drivers and passengers of the two vehicles were....
Today the last few days caught up with us. I had shut off the alarm last night, so we were able to sleep in. I think it was almost noon before we were showered and somewhat organized. It was in the mid-nineties this afternoon. We finally broke down and turned on the AC about four PM. It's nine o'clock now and the temperature has already dropped thirty degrees. One thing about this coulee, it's almost always cool enough for good sleeping.
Forry took apart our old wifi antenna system and installed the new components. They seem to be working beautifully!
