	2010-08-07	Rt DD	MO 43	Total trip distance: 9.0 miles9.0	Low	238	3.56	None	None Bowe, Michelle Edmond, Brian The water level was okay along this stretch but we couldn't get through all riffles. I wouldn't want to do this section with any less water. We were on the river from approximately 1200 to 1900 hours. Mostly cloudy and very hot (sun only peaked through occasionally) and it rained for 20-30 minutes towards the end of our trip even though it stayed warm.

Condition Descriptions

Flood - The river is flooding. Obstacles can be treacherous or deadly. The river should be avoided at this stage for casual trips and definitely for the inexperienced. Trips should be attempted only with protective gear and equipment.
High - The river is high and potentially dangerous, especially for the young and / or inexperienced. Normal stream obstacles are sometimes difficult to navigate. Extended distances can be attempted, but canoe travel may not be advisable.
Good - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.
Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.
Poor - River is too low to float comfortably. Most or all riffles will drag or must be portaged and some obstacles (such as slick shelf rock) cause undue problems. Avoid the river at this stage for casual paddling trips.
Potential - Evaluative discharge ratings do not exist for this gauge and water level. However, the current discharge is at or above the historic median value for today's date, indicating that conditions might be sufficient for a successful trip.
Unknown - A value of unknown indicates that enough information has not yet been gathered to determine a rating at the current river level. Review gauge and river data for more information.
