[ Chat ] Hey!! Carol. Yes, we found the bridge with some time to spare this trip. Fishing was poor .. the trip was great. Or at least it will be a great memory as soon as the sore muscles and thumb heal. It's amazing what force a rapid flowing river has compared to the side of the boat, a thumb, and the oar. Weee-oooooooucho-doggies. :-<! .... You don't want that translated (notice the thumb was mentioned in the middle?), but did you ever tie fishin knots with a mashed thumb? I've not seen that river this high and that swift. The anchor wouldn't hold the boat in the current so artificial baits were poor and the sinkers we had weren't heavy enough to let the baits hit the bottom in the current. So, the next time if the water is that mud stained and out of it's normal bank channels when we arrive .... It's a No Go! But, We Will .... Try Again!! There are still un-discovered waters ahead ... un-discovered waters at least by us. While putting in the boat under a 300 ft shale cliffside .. we noticed a 3 ft. in diameter circular boulder shaped like Saturn imbedded into the vertical wall of the shale cliff. We immediately identified it as one of the many similar boulders that attacked the boat last year from under the surface of the water. Since last year I've asked others if they knew what these could be, but no one had an answer. We also noticed a similar Spherical Rock in the front yard of a house on the drive into the river area. We were so curious at the end of the day ... I knocked on the door of the Rock owner and asked .... What in the heck is that Rock you have in your front yard?????? He said he had just acquired it and barely got it home with a front end loader. Boy ... did we get an education from this extremely nice and informative man. I thought it was a Geode but I'd never seen a 3,000 to 4,000 pound Geode. The one he had was Small by comparison to the ones in the river. By rough estimate I'd guess some of the ones in the riverbed would be 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. It's no wonder they are still there on the river bottom. What about the one we spotted in the shale cliffside? ... he mentioned that one of his neighbors was trying to chisel it out. This man must have a lot of guts to stand under a shale cliff and chisel out a 3 ft sphere that must weigh at least 2,000 lbs while loose shale is stacked up 200 ft above his head. We just took a picture of it and moved on, although we did wonder if it would fit in the back of the truck. Nahhhhhh! What a Beautiful Place .... and a River Runs Through It. ...... Sorry to digress and get off topic ... AWT. Yes, AWT .. it looks like it's ready for Wave #3. A little upward move here may go a long way. It looks like you spotted that one. IMHO. Ray PS: I hope this post does not trigger a Geode Hunt. The area is too Pristine to be spoiled by such things. I forgot to mention that these contain no Crystalline Centers. That's another reason they are still there in the riverbed along with core samples showing Hydrogen Pockets under the surface of the surrounding area which I hear are a bit if a ... No No when there has been talk of mining the area. A fishery remains! But, we still need a few more good ones.
