While it is officially the first day of winter, some in the meteorological field considered the seasonal change on the first of the month, as the weather conditions have already changed. Anyhow, remember last year’s flooding. Today’s photograph is of the flood of 1955 of Susan River on Riverside Drive. You will note back then there was not a bridge but culverts. After the flood, the culverts were replaced with a bridge. Of note, in the background is the log deck of Fruit Growers Supply Company.

I can remember Susan River being us boys from the Milwood District s Playground. One year about 1950 we cut a steel drum (barrel) in half and made a boat to float through these culverts . or cans as we called them . We were having great fun and did not realize just how dangerous this was . Till we got this boat stuck in one of those cans for 10 or 15 minutes . We were lucky that day.
