Maybe, you could ride that water heater like a boat down that "river". What a mess, I feel your pain. This part of Oregon seems to have missed the winter floods, but theres still time.

Very cool (cold??), I just have this thing about going boating when it's too cold to go in the water, at least you don't have to worry about your beer getting warm!

No we sure didn't, didnt take any ICE either hehe

Altho relatively speaking it was aweful warm that day(for January), about 14C or 57 F

Either way we had a blast, was great to be in the boat!

Seem to recall passing thru NV just after new years and it was far from warm!
