The Wife and Kids at the End of the Trail
Last weekend we received lots of rain - around 9 inches or more in 48 hours! One storm was followed by the remnants of Hurricane Gustav so we got a great soaking. This 188 acre lake is usually hundreds of feet from the road and about 30 to 40 feet below it. This rain caused it to raise almost to street level (much higher than the photo) so only the tops of mature trees could be seen.

The lake that's always there was made to collect rainwater from the neighborhood streets, and is stocked with fish for fishing. The majority of the park cannot be seen due to the overflow of water. It's a good thing, or our homes would most likely be underwater right now!

I wonder if the fish will find their way back to the actual lake
