Selling: Ark, pristine condition

So, after all the excitement on Friday, residents along the Des Moines River were relieved as the water levels continued to fall, the highest peak being at 7:00 a.m. on Friday morning. With the river back in place, business owners began moving their inventory back into stores, my parents moved their evacuated possessions back into the house and life returned to normal. We even decided to hold our family cookout on Sunday afternoon in my parents backyard, but avoided the areas near the river bank where a layer of slippery mud existed.

Fortunately everyone was wrong on the forecasted crest. It also made me happy since I never did get to sneak out of work early to go gawk.
