All I can say is !!!!!!
I'm glad everyone made it down ok. That sounds terrifying. I'm racking my brain to figure out what I would do encountering waist deep water. I think I would have to stop and wait for the storm and water to pass or for rescue, probably hitting the 911 on my SPOT, assuming it could talk to a satellite under those conditions.
Thank you for sharing. I'm praying for good weather and clear skies for 8/20-22
