Outdoor adventures: Behold the Rock River's return to normalcy

Happier than a fat tick on a lazy dog. That’s me, all right. Just look at the beautiful river in all her glory,
raging outside the window.

It seems like forever since the old girl has been at or above normal level. But lo and behold, here we are. I know we are just a few inches above normal as I pen this article, but after the last 10 months or so, I would say it is reason for excitement.

The graphic accompanying the article this week is from the NOAA National Weather Service site (www.weather.gov) I have used for years to track water level and flow. The site is incredibly helpful for us outdoorsy-type people. It’s got forecasts, precipitation amounts, water levels, predictions and tons of other useful stuff.
