In the days leading up to June 20, 2013, Alberta, Canada, experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta's history.
The area around the cache site was hard hit by the flood. South of you, you will see the Elbow river. Take a look at it now. Now look to the east and imagine seeing water on the roadway. The school to the east was so badly damaged that it will not be open for the 2013-14 school year. All the nearby houses have to deal with flood damage and will take a long time to get back to normal.
The three pedestrian bridges that cross the Elbow River were also casualties of the flood. To the east of the cache site there was a beautiful green bridge. As you can see from the pictures here, it didn't stand up well to having trees and flood debris slammed up against it. The city plans to rebuild this bridge, but it too will take time.
The flooding was catastrophic, yet the response from Calgarians who rallied to assist their neighbours was amazing. Calgary and Calgary cachers will recover and come back stronger!
