Mike,
It looks like the bridge into Eureka Springs. Same is true for the bridge in Devil's Elbow, MO which was one of the rides @Spyderfest. Pictures of I-44 underwater in St. Louis were posted on FB tonight.
I hope the MOGANG gives serious consideration to rescheduling Spyderfest to a drier part of the year, since the last 2 years were severly impacted by heavy rain.

Or on a ship. How about one year we could all go on a cruise. Spyderfest Cruise on the good ship Lollypop! The Hog group has several--Let the Captain do the driving and we could do the drinking and talk about Tires and Oil Brands! Mike could be our guest speaker and Bob could set up a Insurance Kiosk. I'm tired I think I will go to bed.

From experience in my previous life, I would guess that the dates of the event are somewhat dictated by the availability of BRP equipment and personnel. Don't they have a BRP tent or people there?

The pictures appear to be of the Beaver Bridge that is north of Eureka Springs on Hiway 187. They are driving from east to west. The flood picture is looking east.

Lamonster is having Spyders in the Ozarks in September. I have already made my Reservations. I just hope the repairs to the roads and bridges have been made by then.

This is the Meramac River which divides St. Louis county and Jefferson county south and west of St. Louis. I lived about a mile from the river outside of Arnold, Mo. for several years. It flooded once in a while, but never like this. Lots of homes on the banks of this river.... I suspect many are gone. I was on a hill and could look down on the river.

:shocked:

I thought that was where they were holding the submarine races... :dontknow:

That rain is hitting here in Ohio. I've got puddles in my yard, but nothing in the basement....so far. Lake Erie has rolling white caps at the present. Almost everyone's docks are under water. It ain't pretty!!!

Lake Michigan is 7 inches higher than normal right now. Crazy!

See kngfsh27 post: that bridge is just north of Eureka Springs, AR, on AR187. We've been across it many times.
