<DIV><FONT size=3>That was in "64" if my memory serves- me right.......we were
pretty busy cleaning house, barns, trying to rescue hay etc, but I do believe
the bridge went out that year. The ground was so frozen that the water stayed on
top and just flooded everything. I had seen many floods in our areas all my
life, but that year the water came from entirely different
direction......</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I admit my memory is not perfect so I must ask a question
regarding all this weather related info-Which year did the John Day River
Bridge wash out? Was that 64' or was it later? I recall that they
had put the pillars in sand because they knew the dam would back up and make
slack water for the area. The high water came too soon and the bridge
washed away taking a dentist from Montana along. There were a couple of
fatal auto accidents in the area subsequent to the washout also
