Tot Gauge

Post by RomanLA » Sun Dec 28, 2008 7:06 am

Adam just sent me a text. He said the Tot "washed on us" and asked if anyone was talking about the "gauge being stuck". They're considering heading over to Caddo or Dragover.

I never would have guessed - the gage profile looks almost normal, but it makes some sense, because if you look at the level predictor chart I just posted, based on hitting 4.5 yesterday, it should still be above 4 feet at this time, not 3.2 and falling fast.

Eye witness reports (from boaters who know what they're looking at) always beat electronic gages - thanks for the intel!

What does "washed" mean? Surely not washed out?

The gauge was jacked up, level was around 4'2" or so. It was just me and Rusty, John and his buddies from Tx. and a couple of Ar. paddlers. The sun came out and i think it got up in the 50's or so. Nice day on the river!!! First time down in the Ocoee, fun!! fun!!

Yeah, that was Washing Machine. I think the level was around 4.5 or something that day. That was the second time we ran it together. The first time was when I led those guys through for their first time, showed em the lines and everything. Now they go without me and don't even bother calling. Us Cajuns really stick together :poke:

regarding the avatar picture of the Machine. If you have that much of the cannon ball rock showing, it prolly wasn't over 3.5'

Gordon, your not holding a carnage video from us are you??? SHOW ME THE BEAT DOWN!!!!! I think the level was around 3'1" or maybe even less, very low. There's nothing like having a class V poster (class I boater) on the message board. :lol: :poke: :lol: :poke: :beer: :beer:
