I just received this photo I hadn't seen of Cabot Village before cleanup began. Click to enlarge the image. It's amazing the amount of earth washed onto Main Street.

I have also received other photos I hope to get permission to post. They were taken a bit before we took ours and show the bridge knocked out at the edge of Main Street, too.

We had a good meeting of the Joe's Pond Association members this morning. In spite of more high water and flooding problems (another .69 in. of rail last night) people seem to be accepting, dealing as best they can with whatever problems they have. The worst, it seems, is the culvert that has left 14 homes/cottages isolated on Sandy Beach Road. Residents are leaving their cars and walking, crossing a ravine 18 ft. wide and 8 ft. deep. Home owners are concerned that road material is rapidly creating a delta of gravel, stones and muck at the mouth of the brook. Residents hope the Town of Cabot will replace the culvert with a much larger one and that the State of Vermont will allow removal of the foreign material discharged into the pond. Present environmental regulations make situations like this very difficult to correct. We'll see how it goes.
