New Hampshire has a tendency to flood now and then. It doesn’t happen all that often, but when it does, it is quite spectacular. I went up on a bike ride up to the Ompompanoosuc River – a river that is usually nice and low and time. The flood-control dam provides a nice place to bike to, and usually from the top of the earthen dam you can see the river meandering below. Well, right now it is a lake.

- My bike on the road, with the river just about a foot away from cresting over and flooding the road-way

- This usually is a small little river. Now it is a giant lake, with the water level about 20 feet above where it usually is
-
- A good five feet of this white pine is underwater
