I have not floated the Cadron from Hwy 124 to 65 bridge (except the Weidower to bridge part). What hazards/obstacles are there?

Is anyone up for floating it in the next few days?

Unless you find a tree across... most of that is pretty wide open?
I want to send you some emails from my work computer. PM me your email. Might have some time sat for you???
You sure this is on the right channel?

Hi Jan.
If y'all get up a Saturday trip on the Cadron please let me know.
Never done it but could make a day trip out of it.

Louis, I think Chester is doing a run down the Cadron today, and I may go. If you want to do it again tomorrow, I'm game. I know it would add another creek to your list!!

(I'm still thinking about that full moon run on Big Piney tomorrow night, too.) :shock:

Today, we went from the Mill Bridge Road to Highway 65. It took right at 4 hours for about 13.5 miles. We had to portage around a small log jam just before the Pinnacle Springs bridge. The rest of the creek was free from problems. It did have a few flat spots, but there was some nice scenery. If you can do the stretch from Pinnacle Springs to Highway 65, you shouldn't have any problems.

We had a great float today from Pinnacle bridge to 65 bridge. Worst part was the dead 'possum in the middle of the trail going down to the put in.
Chester found snakes, so he was happy. It was a beautiful day.
