Did the Salado get enough water for a Saturday run?
Thanks!

Sorry we missed you - no internet in the area - RiverRatRon ended up having a good run from Boxley to Ponca even encountering a herd of elk crossing the river in front of him.

It does drop off quickly doesn't it? Shucks, I was hoping it was still raining there and would hold. Thanks!

Anyone thinking of running the Hailstone on Saturday? RiverRatRon is looking for somebody to shuttle/ run it with and I'm busy that day. Sharon

Wow, what a boatload of info! Thanks!

Kim - so we can access the bridge during hunting season? how far is the wildlife access from the bridge?

Thanks!

Sorry for not being specific. I meant the one in Cleburne County. I saw it in the Ozark Whitewater book, but couldn't figure why I had never heard it mentioned before. I guess "access issues" solves that mystery.

Thanks,
Sharon

I believe it took us about 5 hours including a stop for lunch and a couple hikes up to waterfalls.

Glad to hear t...

I don't think it got above 50 degrees all day Saturday on the Salado. The weatherman definately called it wrong. Was it a blue Toyota FJ? We saw it at the rest area and wondered if the owners were on the river. The bumper stickers didn't make them look like paddlers, though, more like fishing enthus...

Just a touch over 9. It had dropped less than half a stone when we finished.

Roger,
Thanks again for checking the level. Four of us ended up running it on Saturday and had a great time. We found the tree you mentioned as well as a couple more closer to the end that are easy enough to spot and get around. Thanks again for the heads up!

Ah! Sorry I got confused! Hope you have a good trip!

Sent you a message with phone numbers. Maybe we'll see you there!
Thanks again!

Thanks so much!

Anybody else thinking about heading that way tomorow?

Thanks!
