It is 60F this morning at 9:00 AM here in the Murray valley; there is rain and fog in the mountains; and the pour-offs are still running good. We are supposed to get about 1-1.25 inches of rain today and then a light dusting of snow on the higher peaks tomorrow. I’ll be there for pictures. There was 1o” of airspace under Ponca Bridge on Friday and the river was floatable and clear at Boxley (a Class II-III ride). Beautiful !!
Drove to Compton yesterday, saw a few Elk (the rut his mostly over for the year) and took a few pictures of the Buffalo River at Ponca and Boxley; included below. The roads out of Compton towards the Hemmed-In Hollow Trailhead were impassable due to the week’s heavy rain; couldn’t get to Erbie either. Instead did some shopping and worked around the house.
Photos of Ponca and way up at Boxley on Friday and a tree at Compton full of mistletoe:

I saw on my river guage that day that it was up! Wish I could have gone down and floated. It would be awesome to float that section this time of year! BTW, love your blog and enjoy the pictures.
