Flooding at the Southern SXS

[tarheel]

Saw a post a few min ago on the Parker website voicing concern about flooding at the Southern this weekend-

Raleigh NC did get about 7-8 inches of rain since yesterday, rain has stopped there this p.m. and pretty well stopped across the rest of Central NC. Forecast for remainder of today is widely scattered showers, no more heavy rain in forecast through this coming Sunday 30 April. With the forecast for clear and sunny through this coming weekend, weather should be ideal for all events.

I live about 40 miles SE of Deep River. Forecast for tomorrow's temp is 80 f, best bring your shorts and sun hat if you plan on staying for the weekend-forecast for Sunday 30 April is for 91f at Raleigh-Durham airport, temp at Deep River could run 2-3 deg. higher. With our NC humidity kicking in behind all this rain, guarantee you'll feel the difference if you're coming from Northern climes.

Please pass this on to your friends at the Parker website? I just lurk there for whatever I can learn, can't post there, etc.

From my experience at Deep River when it rains it will get very soft and muddy in the tents. But who cares where else on the planet will you be able to have so much fun. If mud bothered me I would have given up duck hunting decades ago.

Amen, Craig.

Humidity? ........ schumidity. Just another " wahm" day to us Southern boys. Shorts? No thank you, all grown up, now.

Deep River is up and running- No problems other than it was wet and might still be wet.

I visited this afternoon on my way to the hampton. Bill K said they got 10 inches of rain. They had to set up all the tents in a downpour. The place looked great no issues, parking may get a little sloppy by Sunday. The Fox booth is just as you enter the first tent on the right. We will be set up by tomorrow afternoon. Please stop by.

We lucked out big time; nary a drop all 4 days except a few off of the tarptent roofs as the mercury went into the high 80s both days. But every stream, creek and river showed massive amounts of flotsam & jetsam piled up under the highway overpass abutments and all of them were the color of coffee with too much cream. Veterans of the Southern over the years gave special thanks; we've had some real gully washers down there over the years! Kevin

My thanks to Craig, Kevin and the crew for the great display of mouth watering guns. The 20 ga. CE was amazing that walked in. Mike Smith and I had dinner with the owner and heard the story of his find and it will make a grown man cry.
