Today was a day to travel to Billings...or at least do our very best to get there! We knew there was water over the road but I don't think we expected as much as we saw. The man claimed it was over a foot deep of water. You can't really tell very well in these pictures how deep it was but it was pretty deep.
The water was going pretty quickly over the road too. We had some time to prepare ourselves while two other vehicles went before us. The flagger told us to keep our right wheel on the center line and maximum of 5 miles per hour. The black truck looking thing at the end in the pictures above was how far we had to make it. Kinda crazy? Yes, yes it is.
Here is some of the water to the sides. The left side was the side the water was running too so it was just pouring over the edge. I'm just glad we made it across. I didn't get any good shots of the road in front of us so you could see how deep it was. I'll just let you know that we couldn't really see the center line while driving so my dad had to look ahead and just hope he was matched up with it.
More shots of the same.
It's like we are sitting in a lake isn't it? I'm just glad we were able to make it across safely and get my parents to there check ups in Billings.
I wish I would have gotten pictures of the smaller water crossing we had to do on the way home but my phone was dead already. Oh well.
