| Spring runoff caused flooding in the West Creek area to break the old (no longer maintained) J. O. Hill dam on Pine Lake. Two homes in West Creek were destroyed. The flood continued down Horse Creek, and about twelve sections of Highway 67 were destroyed, trees were knocked down, and the Horse Creek Saloon and Campground had to be evacuated. |
