Drought on the river....

We went for a little trip to the Big Falls area here in northern Wisconsin recently. The drought was obvious as we came on down to the water. As you can see the water is very, very low. In spring, when the ice and snow are melting, you can't see any of these rocks at all. In fact, you wouldn't want to be anywhere near them as they can drag you under in the current. Right now, not so much. In fact, I felt perfectly safe letting my 2 year old daughter play amongst the rocks and bounce around them as we made our way across the river.

This is a picture taken from the road to the Falls. I am standing on the bridge. This is a great river (normally) to kayak down. Not much kayaking going to be done on it in it's current state.
