The Chena River watershed has seen 2 ½ – 3 inches of rain in the past few days and it seems that the River ands its many tributaries have the nasty habit of gathering up more than they can contain.  The Corp of Engineers has activated the flood control protocol for Fairbanks.  Guess where we are?  Right, the Corp of Engineer’s campground.  They seem to have it all under control.  They actually adjust the gates of a diverter dam to send part of the flow through a complex of dikes into giant retaining pond and on into the Tananah River that then flows around town.  Clever.  It is pretty interesting to watch; from high ground of course.
