	2020-08-23	MO	Eleven Point River	Big Bottom Hollow (B)	Whitten	Total trip distance: 13.7 miles3.7	Good	Poor	RT Chesnutt, Ethan Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Joseph Edmond, Julian Van Someren, Tom After breaking camp, we slowly started downstream around 1000 hours. We were pestered by motor boats today (as we were yesterday). Tom and I saw a family of at least three otters about halfway through this stretch. After a few stops to swim and play, we pulled out around 1500 hours. USGS Gauge Data: Bardley (07071500) Discharge: 812 Height: 3.48 Source: Edmond
	2020-08-22	MO	Eleven Point River	Long Hollow	Big Bottom Hollow (B)	Total trip distance: 13.7 miles10.0	Good	Poor	GSF Chesnutt, Ethan Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Joseph Edmond, Julian Van Someren, Tom We started downstream around 1130 hours. The stretch from Long Hollow to Greer Spring was slow but not low. We were able to get through each riffle without getting out although there was some dragging. Past Greer Spring, the water was swifter with less dragging. We originally planned to start at MO 19 but decided we wanted to see the confluence of the spring and the river. Because of that, our late start, and the long shuttle, we had more river miles to cover on the first day than we had planned. We were also in competition with other groups for the sparse camp sites. We finally found one around 1800 hours that was small but suited us fairly well. USGS Gauge Data: Bardley (07071500) Discharge: 825 Height: 3.50 Source: Edmond
	2020-08-09	MO	James River	Kerr	Cox	Total trip distance: 5.5 miles5.5	Good	Poor	None Eakins, Danielle Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Julian Eth, Joe Van Someren, Andrea Van Someren, Tom This was a lazy summer trip with low (but acceptable) water levels. The water was clear and flowing slowly with only a few faster riffles. We spent most of the day on a gravel bar about 3/4 of the way through, cooking burgers for lunch and swimming and snorkeling. Julian paddled his own boat and spent his time back and forth between our different boats. He also swam a lot with his boat in tow.

	2020-03-28	MO	Little Sac River	Rt O	FR 115	Total trip distance: 11.7 miles11.7	High	Poor	None Bartlett, Renee Chesnutt, Ethan Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Julian Van Someren, Tom The water was high and murky. There were no dangerous obstacles on this stretch but some places were appropriately tricky for any wild river. The wind was troublesome. At times, the south or southwest wind was blowing directly into our faces despite our northward trajectory. This resulted in lost time and an unusual amount of corrective paddling which wore us out for such a long trip, despite the fast current.

	2018-06-10	MO	James River	Kerr	Cox	Total trip distance: 4.8 miles4.8	Good	Good	SMB Aliaga, Rut Brame, Erika Brame, Joon Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Julian Gerhardt, Kyle Gerhardt, Megan Larsen, Chris Larsen, Lisa Van Someren, Andrea Van Someren, Tom Wilson, Ryan This section of the James was relatively fast-moving given the very low rainfall we've had. It was also fairly crowded with rental boats and others. Swimming and fishing were both good and the water was comfortable. Chris and I cut up a tree obstruction on one particularly tricky run.

The water level was good and the water itself was mostly clear and cool. We stopped at N38.30272237 W90.90611617 to view the eclipse.

	2016-08-12	MO	Current River	Pulltite	Round Spring	Total trip distance: 9.0 miles9.0	Good	Poor	None Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Joseph Edmond, Julian This was a great trip on the river. There were more people than I expected, probably due to Fri (as opposed to Mon or Tue as we've done before). USGS Gauge Data: Akers (07064533) Discharge: 273 Height: 1.20 Source: Edmond
	2014-08-12	MO	Current River	Spring Hollow (A)	Beal	Total trip distance: 11.1 miles4.2	Good	Poor	SMB Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Joseph Quiet and lonely stretch in the early morning.

	2014-08-11	MO	Current River	Powder Mill	Spring Hollow (A)	Total trip distance: 11.1 miles6.9	Good	Poor	SMB Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Joseph Excellent river levels and current. Only eight other boats on the river all day, including two bass boats with motors, three kayaks, and three canoes. Powder Mill to Waymeyer are not served by daily canoe rentals and might be ideal for a weekend float. USGS Gauge Data: Akers (07064533) Discharge: 204 Height: 1.04 Source: Edmond

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.

Fishing Conditions

None - No fishing
Poor - 0 - 2 fish caught
Fair - 3 - 6 fish caught
Good - 7 - 15 fish caught
Great - 15 - 30 fish caught
Excellent - 30+ fish caught
