Andy, the area where we winched your Walnut tree out of the creek got two feet under water Thursday night.  All of my bridge boards washed off and they are now scattered down that creek.

I could not live in a flood plane like you all do with all the leaves.

The water must come high on the bank at times. Is that just a spring thing? 

During/after a heavy rain that field in the background sometimes gets 2 feet under water.  There is  huge water shead that feeds my creek.  Debris and watermarks are left on the trees, etc. but I have never seen it because my access is also cut off with high water.

The creek banks are 100% dirt.  No rocks or gravel which is why the trees give way and fall into the creek.

Peter, I had forgotten that you had previously asked about the flooding.  During heavy rains, that field does flood, and it did again last week.   ;D

Being on a high ridge doesn't save ya, if you get 6". Except it doesn't come flooding in the doors. It comes in from the soil.  Water logged, is water logged, ridge or flood zone. :  :D

Yup, the Cabin is high and dry, as is the great majority of my property.  It's just the creek that overflows.

The good thing is that when it does flood, it is spreading Walnuts from further upstream.   ;D

Lynn,
That's a good thing, because the forum needs MORE WALNUT!!!!!        8) 8)     Andy

[WDH]

Yes, we all need more walnut (and cherry). 

[mesquite buckeye]

I grow more every day. ;D

[WDH]

Maybe you should try growing sweetgum  ;D.

[mesquite buckeye]

Got some of that too. the biggest one is about 12' tall now. ;D

[SwampDonkey]

Cut it while you can. It's the Borg, resistance is futile. Your forest will be assimilated. ;D :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

A very nice gift.

None of us knew when we started this topic that it would become a part of our Memory Lane honoring Andy White.
