No boat Kit :wink: I'm on high ground though. Funny thing about surfers, ten or so years ago when storms had the Feather River swollen, a local put on his wet suit and took his boogie board out to surf the river near the Fish Hatchery fish barrier dam (low overhead dam). The first couple attempts were successful, but the third try, the undertow of a low overhead dam sucked him in and he drowned.
Anyway, I had to drive to Grass Valley (54 miles) to buy groceries. Not sure of the distance of my alternate route, that of going through Berry Creek, to the Hwy that goes to Forest Ranch, and then back down to Chico for shopping, but perhaps I'll google it.
If the evacuation is lifted and Hwy 70 is opened, I might be able to make the trip to Snow Ranch; otherwise, driving east to Auburn, then to Snow Ranch would be a longer trip than I care to make.
Breaking News: Authorities have lifted the evacuation order. With all the returning vehicles that are going to be on the road, it will be madness. Also, this comes just in time for me, as UPS has a scheduled delivery for me tomorrow, lol.
