Road trip.....

[railman]

Me and Rick ( RangerSVT ) went on a roadtrip on Sunday to get parts and see what the rivers had done.....

the Dana 20 he picked up in Nashville...checkin' it out...

the beautiful rust free EB in the garage...

the HO motor out of a T-Bird...

poor SVT waiting the SAS and V8 swap....

the marina...where ya usually have to walk DOWN the ramps....

for an idea this is the causeway to the bridge over Lake Barkley ( Cumberland River ) and the water is usually 20 ft or more below the roadway ....

had fun.....

Depends on what count you live in down in Tennessee, firefighters could run them up to about 2 years ago, I can't run them while driving, but I use them when I'm at an accident or a roadside fire for my protection and the protection of my guys. I'm a county captain and city fire chief, so they don't really say anything, as long as I don't run them while driving to calls

Oh... well that changes things a little then

I can't believe how high th water is down at the marina.

 

[RangerSVT]

The marina is about 25 minutes west of the Cumberland river that runs through Dover, TN. Normally the Cumberland is at about 19 feet, and flood stage is 30 feet. 2 Sundays ago it was at 37 feet, and 2 tuesdays ago it was at 42 feet when Nashville opened the flood gates, so yeah, we got A LOT of water, we went near Opryland hotel, and you can see where the highway was under water...
