Caddo below DeGray?

If the release schedule for Remmel-Rockport doesn't work for us tomorrow, we'd like to check out the Caddo below DeGray. What do we need to know? Would we need a shuttle or is it mild enough to paddle upstream to return to the put-in?

Lee,
Just get off at the Caddo Valley Exit and go to' River Rats Outfitters', I recommend parking there, and for a nominal fee, they will take you up to the Lower Dam Use Area Ramp to put-in. Go slowly and enjoy, but I don't care to paddle/drag back upstream.

You'll have lots of tubers/rafters to dodge and observe. Can be a zoo at put in. Water will start coming up early afternoon as generation starts. Short stretch--just two miles. Add more miles by going all way to Arkadelphia.

Lee,
I'm with you man, I always like a good salad too, but with some savory meaty entrees also

We several of us had a very nice afternoon float on the Ouachita, did you and Thia also float after lunch?
Best Regards
Jim

Salad ain't food. Salad is what food eats.
