Little Missouri Hwy. 84 to road 12000 Saturday August 20

[CAPTAIN ALEVE]

Possibly going to this easier stretch of the Little Mo, generally a Class II level at 4.5 feet to 3.8 feet on the gage at

http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ar/nwis/uv?site_no=07360200

Rain is in the forecast for that day and every day until then, so the water level is not easy to predict at this time.

Incoming relatives may thwart my plans; watch this space.

Rain distribution may alter my plans and send me to the upper section of the Little Mo, or to the Class II Salado Creek near Pleasant Plains, or to the most scenic Class II creek in the state - Hill Creek near Greers Ferry.

Let me know if you are interested in the Hwy. 84 down section of the Little Mo, or any of the others.

The water level is falling to within an acceptable range. There is a 75% chance of thunder storms at noon tomorrow in the Langley area (the put-in). Sunday will be mostly sunny with a high of 83.

As of Friday morning the weather for Saturday is too iffy. The river might rise to an unsuitable level during the day and I don't want to be on it in that case (the voice of experience). I'm changing the trip date to SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, with the same restrictions: no relative arriving in Little Rock. If the relative comes in, I may have to cancel.

I'll post again on Saturday. There is an option to paddle the upper section on Sunday if the water is too high for the lower, of paddle nearby Self Creek which is fairly easy at moderate levels. Full information on the creek, including video of a previous trip, can be found at
