[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1262363, member: 97"] The old countryside was getting pretty dry and the pastures starting to brown up...Then on the afternoon of Friday the 19th- while the grandson and I were fixing some fence a thunderstorm caught us at the far side of the pasture- and dumped buckets (about 2 inches)... We were in the ranger side by side and besides getting hailed on we got our spring baths... ;-) When it finally let up enough to get back to the pickup- every coulee and cow trail was running water... Water was pouring down them towards the almost dry reservoirs and dams...... Today while checking some fence I snapped these pictures- water in every hole and low spot again...
