By JaNAE FRANCIS Standard-Examiner staff jfrancis@standard.net It's not just farming and business that will take a hit from existing and predicted flooding in the Top of Utah. The recreation and tourism industries also likely will be affected. Proof is in the high waters at Fort Buenaventura at 2450 A Avenue in Ogden, damage to the Old Snowbasin Road and a continued closure of Farmington Canyon Road. "A lot of revenue will be lost," said Weber County Parks and Recreation Manager Jim Carter. Weber County workers scrambled Wednesday to stave off damages to the Oxbow river channel that has a low bank at about 5700 West and 1150 South in West Weber, where millions of dollars in businesses and farms were at stake. At the same time, Carter continued his watch over Fort Buenaventura to keep damage to a minimum at the central Ogden attraction, and police were enforcing a no-travel policy on Farmington Canyon Road, While it appears that Fort Buenaventura may be closed throughout the summer, Carter remains hopeful that the Mountain Man Rendezvous, an annual Easter event that was flooded out, will be able to continue as rescheduled for July 15-17. "It's probably not going to be. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible, hoping that things turn around." Regarding activities planned at the fort almost daily through spring and summer, Carter said he and his staff were rescheduling and rerouting as many as possible, including the annual Ogden Friends of Acoustic Music Festival, which is taking place this weekend at North Fork Park in Liberty. Also of concern for area tourism and recreation prospects is the recent approximately $500,000 in damage to Old Snowbasin Road caused by flooding.
