Thanks for taking the time to share that story, Ken.

For me, one thing that this story reinforces is the danger of blindly heading into flooded territory, whether it's three inches or three feet of water, whether you're driving or on foot, in the woods or in town. I mean, we can't just assume that the way is safe, so we should either avoid the area or take precautions when crossing. Just because the first ten steps, the first twenty steps, are OK doesn't mean the 21st step isn't into a hole or onto a big, rusty, boot-piercing nail or whatever. I'm glad your electronics were saved from a dunking. smile
