Gone Fishing Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I just can't take it anymore. I am going tomorrow. I was just wondering if anyone knew how the ramps were. I would like to put in at Baxter.

duckydoty Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Dont know about the Baxter area, but I live in the Coney Island area near Kimberling City and we picked up another 3 inches today. Still snowing too. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Members Just another guy'd Posted February 5, 2011 Members Posted February 5, 2011 Indian Point is ice covered.Thats all Iknow.
Jason Essary Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Buddy wanted me to look for him today. Drove down RB, Millcreek is untouched and impossible. Ahoys is the same. Maybe old 86 park, but that would be my only guess.

Members JimmyBaja Posted February 5, 2011 Members Posted February 5, 2011 The additional wet snow yesterday on top of the compacted ice and snow underneath has created VERY slippery conditions. Be careful!

Hope you haven't left home yet. Baxter is packed with the snow over the top of the sleet over the light freezing rain we got early in the week. Then, we got at least four more inches beginning yesterday (Friday) noon and lasting past midnight and it's the type of snow that packs. You would probably need four wheel drive with locking transfer case and front and rear locking diffs plus chains and even then it would be questionable if you'd be able to stop your rig while backing down. You don't expect the Corps to maintain those ramps for the launch fee$ they charge do you ? [grin] Seriously, the salt or chemicals would really eat-up the concrete.
Gone Fishing Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 Looks like in the house for another day.
TRRANGER Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Remember our fees only cover april till october when they close the parks because peoeple dont use the facilities then. HAHA they maintain and remove snow then. hahaha
skeeter Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Remember our fees only cover april till october when they close the parks because peoeple dont use the facilities then. HAHA they maintain and remove snow then. hahaha Took the UTV down to the Baxter launch ramp yesterday and someone had been down there with a snowplow/blade, surprise, surprise!!! Don't know who it was but the tires left tracks that would suggest a tractor. They pushed the snow downhill on the launch ramp to block access to the courtesy dock ( ? ) but the ramp surface is still hard packed with sleet/ice/snow and the snowplow vehicle's tires just packed that frozen stuff down worse. Since Baxter ramp faces due North it get's no Sun and the little bit of melting we had yesterday didn't affect it. The short road from the parkie's shack at the campground entrance down to the ramp was snow covered and packed and real slick.
