fishingaddiction Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Hopefully that will flush some of the phosphates and nitrogen out of the drink and cut down on the algai blooms this spring. Good point Jeff. Your statement is logical, hope you are right. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
fishingaddiction Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks for the info RPS and Middleton. Didn't want to take 187 off of 62 Hwy and have to turn around and go back. Middleton: I just sent you a PM for more information. Thanks. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
rps Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 I went over the one lane bridge myself shortly before 4:00 PM. They yanked the buckled pavement in front of the bridge, graded it and laid some gravel. They temp filled potholes in the bridge itself. Good to go (SLOW) for cars, pickups, and boat trailers. Personally I wouldn't drive anything heavier than a step van over it until fully tested and repaired. But that is just me. They have waders and divers in the creek downstream from the bridge still looking.
5bites Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 What is the story on the missing person? All I've heard is what's been posted here.
rps Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 A gentleman who lived near the bridge, we call it the Elk Ranch area, was driving home and drove into water deep and striong enough to sweep his SUV off the bridge. They found the SUV when the water went down, but they are still looking for him.
rps Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Goodness. What road was that on? Highway 187 in Arkansas. It runs from Highway 23 North (from Eureka Springs north to 86) to and through Beaver and then winds to connect with Highway 62 about 6 miles West of Eureka Springs. We use it as the backdoor into Holiday Island. The road was originally built as a horse drawn wagon road to haul the stone they quarried down by the White River back to Eureka to build the Crescent Hotel. At Beaver it features the world's longest wooden suspension bridge over the White River. It too is one lane. Around here one must learn the etiquette of one land bridges.

5bites Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 That's great info. I need to do more driving around down there.
Donna G Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 the water under that sawdust will warm up very fast with some sun. The ned won't penetrate it unfortunately. Champ and Donna will figure it out real quick. Hmm.
