Just writing to let you know we made it to Tretten. The flood is bad but the roads were fine. We have seen a camper in the water and lots of logs. I think campgrounds located on the river with permanent campers or small cabins were hit...as were some low lying farms and houses. South of Lillehammer the river is wide like the Mississippi. They call it a Lake. The water was glasslike, but it looked high. North of Lillehammer the river narrows and is just raging. E6 was a good 4 feet above the river at the lowest point of the road (though the road goes up the side of the valley sometimes too), though at one point it looked only maybe 1 - 2 feet higher than the water. I think it's starting to recede. Janna Glomstad, of Glomstad Gjesthus, said that the flood came on really suddenly Friday and that people were trying to move campers in Ringebu Friday afternoon. They lost 3 campers. We think we saw one of them.
Our hotel is up the side of the valley 5 km north of Tretten. The drive was sort of like the drive to GrandDad's Bluff in La Crosse...before it was closed.
More later...
