Thought you out-of-towners might want to see what the mighty, mighty Eel River can do... 

This is a quickie post - just got home from work and I'm trying to make it to another meeting. But I know a lot of people from out of town are checking this site as well as the GCDW and I have some interesting pics that aren't up anywhere yet. Time only permits me to post just three right now in a part of the Great Flood of 2008 Gallery called The Mighty Eel. I'll post the rest later tonight.

Highway 67 opened yesterday. This morning was the first time I'd driven down it and got a chance to see the railroad track. A lot of people are talking about this - it's quite a sight. It makes you just say a big "wow." The track is literally destroyed. It's hard to imagine. We've never seen anything like it. The three pics that I got uploaded are of small spots - there are numerous spots like this all the way to the flasher light and many are much larger than these. 

A driver safety program is going to be offered at Glenburn in Linton.

Generations, in partnership with AARP and Glenburn Community and Wellness Center of Linton, will offer a Driver Safety Program conducted by an AARP-trained instructor.

The workshop will be held Wednesday, June 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Glenburn Community and Wellness Center on Glenburn Road. The course fee is $10.

Participants who successfully complete the workshop will receive a course completion certificate which could possibly make them eligible for an automobile insurance discount. Our state law does not mandate a discount, but participants may still be eligible for voluntary discounts offered by their insurance companies.

For more information or to register for the Linton class, call Generations at 1-800-742-9002 or Crystal Woods at 812-847-3509. The class fee must be paid in advance. Checks for the $10 fee should be made payable to AARP and sent to Generations, Attn: Jane Hall, P.O. Box 314, Vincennes, IN 47591.
