Oldtown????

[Five O]

Anyone know the plans for Oldtown this weekend. I went down there tonight and the water is still WAY high and movin fast. Still no beach at all under the bridge and along the shore.

Is it going or postponed?

high water

Slora says its on but I say no Way, water level at Dalkina only down 12 inches from two weeks ago.

Well the selfish side of me says good, I have too many family obligations this weekend, brother will be in town for the first time in three or four years.

The cautious side of me also says good. It looks like crap to me. The hydros have no launch area. The only place they can go is in the bushes and grass, or share the ramp. Not to mention the fast water.

The water is still roaring over here in Montana. Our river feeds the lake that feeds the river thru Oldtown. We are getting ready but I don't see how it is going to happen. I think it will be a nice camping trip. Maybe a miracle in two days?

What ever happened to positive thinking?

[blueskyracer]

We are thinking positive but mother nature has other ideas

Heres a thought, don't come. We have never raced when it was not safe. Montana was a prime example. In fact we called it Friday and Saturday and yet the flats still went out!! Ron is going by info from folks that live close. He is not going to drive 3 hours one way to check the conditions every other day.

there is another water check being done this evening!!!!! i understand your frustration, however give it the due time for everyone involved to gather more info, etc... and then await the decison like the rest of us. i think ron saying (possitive thinking) was his way of doing what he can to keep everyone, in a possitive mindset. none of us can change what mother nature has in store for us, i assure you, as mike stated the "correct" decision will be made, and certainly safety will be at the top of the list, just as it was in montana. if you missed drivers meeting in montana, ron even got choked up, speaking about the drivers safety. kevin martin

[blueskyracer]

Even if we don't race we will still have a good time. They sure did in Montana

[BlueskyRacerGirl]

It well be a fun get away even if we don't race!
I however am thinking positive like Ron.
We got one out of three days in Trout Creek so I figure we well get two out three this time and the rest of year we well be good to go!!!

Looking at the picture on Facebook, things are looking much better. May not make testing on Friday but I bet we'll be racing over the weekend.

Well I certainly wasn’t trying to stir anything or bring negativity. More than anything I’m just disappointed I wont get to participate much, if there is a race.

I crossed the bridge about 15 min ago and it looks the same to me. No big deal though, after all, camping is at least half the fun.

Fri Ill proly come down and throw my boat in for a couple. Hope to meet some of you I haven’t had the opportunity to meet.

the pictures just posted on Face book show massive improvment. To fly over the bridge says nothing without reference points to compare. I think it will be good at least for Saturday and Sunday. I really was hoping for testing but oh well. I am keeping fingers crossed.
