    Flooding of the Schohaire Valley

    Not really trike related but thought you guys might wana see what water can do. This is the footage I shot over the past weekend over a month after the flood, the town is still a mess and it will never be the same again. So many people were effected it still makes me sick, I was lucky to live on a mountian but many were not. The water was over 6 feet high in houses 3 miles away from the creek.

    As a truck driver, I travel the thruway between Utica and Amsterdam regularly on my dedicated run. I couldnt believe the extent of the flooding up around Fultonville and Canajoharie! I didnt see the damage in Schoharie, but I heard it was really bad down there....

    Yeah man, the flood was crazy. I still can't believe the amount of rain we got up here. I'm a logger and it makes it tough trying to drive a 13ton skidder through the woods when the ground is so saturated. I live right in Lake George and the water was running right through the village. Check out this video of a kid jet skiing in the highschool field!

    Well right now alot of the trails are real rough from the flood. The creekside was a kind of highway for the trail system around here. They will be all set by next summer plus the valley is real nice to see mid-summer we have alot of cliffs and good views. Im currently making a video of this summer's riding pre-flood you'll have to check it out when done.
    Here is another video showing the dammage to Prattsville not far from here
