Getting Ready for the Flood

I have pulled all my geocaches located in the Greenway.

The Red River of the North is about to go out of its banks and
I wanted to remove the caches before it was too late.
The Bike Bridges over the River have been closed and the
City of Grand Forks has closed down some the the Greenway
paths. The City of East Grand Forks will be shutting down part
of the Greenway this weekend. I hope to get the caches back out
in late April.

You can check the river level by clicking on the feed on the side menu.

View from EGF looking at River Side Dam.


Last weekend 2 snowmobilers ran over the dam and into the water. One walked out through the rapids and the other one was hanging on by one hand in a hole in the water. Lucky for him an off duty EGF Policeman was out for a walk. He crawled out on the ice and looped a dog leash around him and it took three people to pull him out. He could not feel his legs. Both drivers were from Grand Forks and should have known better.

Riverside Dam from the East Side. It is almost under water.


Here is one that I pulled today. Thats Minnkota Power in the background.

On the way to Down by the Riverside. A bit wet.
