feeshy1 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Maybe gonna go to North Sulphur River Saturday since the wife is off work >>>>any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sward Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've been thinking about it, too. I'm gonna keep an eye on the wx today to see what happens. They're calling for possibly some heavy rain today and tonight. If we get some heavy rain, the river might be too high. Someone posted an interesting website the other day that shows the river level near Cooper, TX. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=fwd&gage=cppt2&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 The current chart shows how quickly the river can rise and fall. Look at Wednesday, 25 Jan. The river went to 30' and back down again very quickly. I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see. If it looks promising, I'll pm you as early as possible. It would be nice to meet another forum member. SWardSoutheast Missouri (formerly Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX) USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boneman007 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Gosh darn it! (Hey! - Im getting good at kiddie cussing!) I have my daughter on Saturday, and at 6, she's not quite ready for the North Sulphur River! Good Luck! I hope you find that plesiosaur that's hiding in that river somewhere!

jwcounts Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Last weekend the water was still high, but it was really the mud that was the real killer. I was sinking up to my knees on a regular basis. I think I'll give it a little while before I get back out there, especially with more rain in the forecast....

My daughter when she was younger loved the North Sulphur River because she could play in the mud! Now that she's a teenager...not so much. Take her, she will enjoy it! Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If you can keep them out of the deeper water, they sure do have fun! I put John's feet in trash bags to act as "waders", and he's happy as a clam. Little if anything deters him--except for the guys shooting out at the 904 the other day. I yelled at them to warm them we were down in the river, and they packed it up and drove off--and then he was fine.

slickflint Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If we get anything over an inch this evening with the ground so saturated I'm sure it will be on the rise and muddy water. So far we have only had a couple of showers, I would make a decision after the 10 o'clock news tonight if I was you. I just started a new job this week, days off are Sunday and Monday. Would love to join you all for a hunt sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sinking up to my knees on a regular basis. I think I'll give it a little while before I get back out there, especially with more rain in the forecast.... We did the river on way to Tucson this year. It was pretty dry before the last two rainy periods. We found a ton of Exogyra while there, and lots of interesting other mollusks in the slabs in creek. Mud was much less worse, but I know what you mean have been there when mud is like that. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
