Low water conditions on the Upper French Broad may continue as we head into the July 4th weekend. Here are a few things to note.

Thank You @officialalanjackson
For the songs we listen to on the riverbank, that stir up all the best memories. For the classics that will never be forgotten.
āIf love was a river
And I was a drowning man
Would you get in the water
Would you lend me a hand
If love was a river
Would you sit on the land
If love was a mountain
High above this town
Would you climb to the top
Would you never look down
If love was a mountain
Would you go aroundā
If Love Was a River - Alan Jackson
