The Flooded Fox

When the Fox floods, as it does nearly every Spring, we jump at the chance to paddle up Ferson Creek, a small creek off the river in St. Charles, the next town north of Geneva. Only navigable in high water, its siren call can get us into trouble. It did in 2018, when I lost a battle with an underwater tree, debris from the flood.

Our little lagoon in Geneva overwhelming its banks.

Such high water that we can paddle right up into the marsh.

Bloodied and soaked.

My boat still full of water after a lot of pumping!
