    Looks more like the old black rat snake, Aka Chicken Snake.. If there is a mouse hole, there is a way in for them. Make sure he finds a new home far away.

    Are we floating or jet boating?

    Never done the James either. As long as we don't run into the Graybear we should be fine.

    At least you still have an eye. Maybe you need a chainsaw. I bought a nice little Bauer 20 volt for my quick cutting jobs that don't feel like yanking on the gas one.

    Secret Service needs to start practicing on owls.

    Save 15% at MDC store if you have Heritage Card. They usually have them.

    Why don't you scan it to pdf and put it out for public domain? Seems like alot of trouble so far not to pass that knowledge along to others. Publish it here on-site if nothing else. I am sure those that use the river system will enjoy it.

    I did just take a look at this thread. "Barely Legal" was a skin mag from the 80's by Hustler's Larry Flynt. Good looking flies.

    Something goofy going on with River Guages. I see black on Jacks Fork in icons but gauge sees dropping river. I think data screwed up. The storm was spotty. I was going to the Current above Van Buren for a boat ride on Friday. But the data is inconclusive.

    I just beat my head against the wall for 20 minutes waiting for the stupidity of humanity to get worse. It works, it does. Just have to roll with it.

    We only got a whiff here. Lucky for me, I don't have to cut my way in to the farm tomorrow nite. Flash flooding brings all kinds of stuff down stream.

    It's hit and miss. Weekend's there is usually a crowd around watching out and camping at Turner and Whitten. 142 at the Narrows has easy access to road and I did have vehicle broken into on a 3 day float from Cane Bluff.
  15. jdmidwest
    Whitten is kept up for float camp traffic by NFS. Cane Bluff access is county road till near the end, then NFS. Recent rains may have them rutted some but should be navigable in a sedan. Not all of the crackheads that hang out there drive trucks, have to keep them smooth. I would not leave overnite at either place.

    I run a route trail on gps, but I never keep track of distance. It's on one of the screens. I use my point on either a topo/road map that Garmin (which was originally Delorme) produces or USGS topo that is downloaded into program. Forestry service trails are on there too.

    Airplane mode when there is no signal or off. That keeps it from overheating. I toss mine next to my truck gun in cover to keep crackheads from breaking winders. Cover up the change in the console too, they go after it too.

    Somebody woke up on this one. Cell phone coverage sucks on most of the streams, I use offline maps for navigation on the cell phone with a GPS and maps to figure things out. But, MO rivers change and distances change. I know of 2 rivers within 20 miles that have opened up new / old channels during floods that have cut a mile off of the trip. GPS and Offline maps don't show it, not quick enough on updates, but I can find out where I am based on GPS signal.

    I used it for geocaching too, back when I had free time. I still carry it mushroom hunting and mark spots where I find them. Actually had to break it out a few years ago on peck ranch when I was turned around on some trails. I had them downloaded on there. Now, Garmin Explorer is on my phone with offline maps. They work great when cell is offline. Gps signals are stronger and more accurate than they used to be. Still have Delorme paper atlas behind seat when all else fails.

    I use a magellan topo gps system. Helps keep track of where I am to see how much longer I have to go. A person can get tied up in good fishing and forget that darkness comes every day. The topo map on the gps I have shows the long holes and ones to paddle thru to make time for fishing the best water. The magellan system is outdated, but still works on 2 double AA batteries all day.

    My mile 0.0 is usually Bootleg off 21. We did Terre Du Lac to Leadwood Sat. Fishing was slow, about 4 hour float. Lots of mine vents or tunes in that part. Best part is Irondale to Mounts. Never been past Leadwood until down at St Francois State Park.
  23. jdmidwest
    That was outside of Sikeston yesterday in a hurricane storm. Must have seen something tasty and decided to peck. Looks like toes are kinda curled too.

    I would try and get a second opinion. Siteman in St. Louis does great work. Insurance company should not decide if its worth fixing. Doctors should.
