October 31 or November 1, 2013, may be the days some creeks a little north and west of Hot Springs are running. That's tomorrow and Friday. I'm loaded up and looking for some company to run Little Creek and some others in the area. Here's a photo from a new creek I scouted yesterday (the leaves were fabulous):

I haven't checked the drainage area or gradient yet, but it looks like it flows a lot of water and didn't appear to be very steep, maybe 40 feet per mile.

Post if you want to join me in the next few days.

Hey, Captain! I'm probably not interested in creeking in SW Arkansas, but would be interested in something in NW on Friday. Still limiting to easier stuff as I build up. My rain gauge is now holding about 2.5 inches (Garfield, Benton County). Henry

Man, did the forecasters ever MISS this time! It'll be a great weekend for Fall color viewing while hiking the creek beds!
