If he was headed N he had to go through here and its pretty much under water. Been real wet.
River is at flood stage or was a few days ago.

PS
Another neat place to investigate in Winter
If you do Flight Tracker, a LE chopper has been doing a fairly tight circle in the area for a little while.
I don’t understand why he would be going that direction....unless he thinks by turning west he’ll make it all the way to the border. If he isn’t dead, he has to be hiding and he certainly can’t out-wait the police.
