LITTLE MO OR UPPER TOT SUNDAY 4/19/09

[CAPTAIN ALEVE]

The precipitation total radar sites I use say Montgomery County got the most rain so it looks like the Little Mo (Class II+) will be the place to paddle Sunday. If the Cossatot is running above 4.5, then the upper, upper Class II+ sections will be an option. I didn't see any precip on the Salado watershed; the South Fourche La Fave (Class II) will probably also be running and be one more option. I expect the Little Mo will be the only choice. I'm planning to be at the commuter lot at I-630 and Shackleford road at 7:30 a.m. ready to roll. I'll check the gages in the morning and post before 6:30 a.m. to finalize the plan. I have one paddler committed to join me already; sure could use some more.

Little mo at 4.4 at 9 o'clock tonight should be good for tommorow more rain coming looks like might even get an upper run or big water on bottom will check board in the morning.

Looks like the Little Missouri from Highway 84 down to road 12000 (Class II-II+, 9 miles long) has good water, 4.41 feet on the gage at 4:45 a.m. I plan to head for the Highway 84 bridge 4 miles west of Langley to unload. Will be leaving the commuter lot on Shackleford Road in Little Rock around 7:30 and should be at the 84 bridge by about 10:00 a.m. Still need more paddlers; three of us so far. Post here or call if you can make it. My cell 5016812314.
