Now these next two are really interesting. This 'hill' is the most popular sledding hill in the area. It is a slope of about 15 or so feet, and then it levels off. There is a soccer (football) field where it levels off, and 100 yards to the left is where the river turns. That whole area is under 10 feet of water. And yes, those are regulation size soccer nets.

And the last one, the bridge. This is the coolest bridge ever! My family and I go to it a lot, and the water is a good 7 to 9 feet below it. Before the river crests, the whole bridge will be
SUBMERGED!!!
