Amy Cayey posted this great shot of last night's sunset: "Love Higley!"	Please be careful! A loose ski can smack you right in the face during a nice party!
Kathy Rowe says: "As the saying goes… when life gives you lemons, make lemonade — well… when Brookfield gives you rocks instead of water, make cairns! Cairn Art at the mouth of Cold Brook - it’s the latest & greatest on South Higley! The rock stacks really show up when we are blessed with a bit of water "

Thanks to Renee Seymour for capturing the fireworks display. A really awesome show!
	Thanks again, Renee!

Andy Mager sent in this nice shot: "Full moon over the Flow"	Kelly Talcott Moores posted: "We went out tonight and were the only ones out on the river until we hit the lower river in South Colton. The water was like glass and had an almost perfect reflection. I wish I had pulled my camera out sooner."

For the first time since the dams were put in, a car tooled down the old Kelly Road!	The Kelly Road once connected Colton and South Colton
The trip was accomplished with a 1965 Amphicar and two people with a lot of guts!	Meanwhile, Andrew Mager says: "Always a good night on the Flow! " And, we agree!
