Perfect North Dakota spring evening. Light breeze, no bugs, great sunset. Went 3 with Ron and the dogs, 4 alone. Pace 8:52. The place we turn around with the dogs has about 2 1/2 feet of water in the ditch from the river breakout and it is moving fast so the culvert has a whirlpool and is making this sucking sound. Of course the dogs are curious and I had to yell at both of them to get away. If they get in that, it will suck them right through the culvert. Ron threw a stick in and about 10 seconds later it popped out the other side. I think we will turn around a little sooner next time. Hopefully the river will start dropping this weekend. All this water is really getting old and we aren't even fighting it like so many others are. Prayers for you all down south.
