mommabetts Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 So who is up for checking out some of the feeder creeks going into the NSR? The river it self has been pretty picked clean since we haven't had any rain, so I thought about creek hopping myself. If anyone would like to join they are welcome.

Traviscounty Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm going to be there. What do I need to bring? Do you have a backhoe? I was down there a couple of weeks ago, and it's muddy. Definitely waterproof boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texaswoodie Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Do you have a backhoe? I was down there a couple of weeks ago, and it's muddy. Definitely waterproof boots. Sorry no backhoe. I do have a grandson though. Yeah, I was initiated last weekend. Brought half the river bottom and 90% of the burrs back with me via my poodle. Took an hour to get him clean. Last trip he's going to make to SR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 a long time ago, tj and i went to the nsr. we trekked through weeds on the side of an obscure entry and i got some of those little triangular sticky seeds all over me, when we were through and got back into our vehicle, somehow i ended up getting a bunch of those seeds stuck on the headliner material on the inside roof of the vehicle. i left them there as a reminder of the adventure, and they're still there. nsr is just one of my favorite places.

JohnJ Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 mommabetts, if you find a mosasaur tail coming out of the bank, get Barry to hold it while you reach into the mud an grab it behind the head!

Gary T Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I was there last weekend and I was "stuck in the mud". The river is VERY silted in right now. I believe it is the result of many very small rains and no toad stranglers. Spoke with 3 other collectors, all of which were empty handed and I would have been to if I had not scowered the red layer on a bank to find a couple of nice black gastropods. Still wish I could go though. Good Luck. I don't know if this may be common knowledge or not, but a good tool to use before venturing out to the river is the USGS stream data website for Texas. This is a link to all Texas streams that have monitoring stations: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/current/?type=flow If you select the location of: N Sulphur Rv nr Cooper, TX; site>07343000 You can get real time river level data, or at least the conditions as of 15 minutes ago. Here is an example: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/uv/?site..._cd=00065,00060 Lots of tools on the site, you can look at historical data too. Go to drop down box for available data, select daily data and enter the range of dates you want to look at. Here is an example report for the last 2 years of rain data: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/dv?cb_00...erred_module=sw You can see that the river essentially has had no discharge since April last year even though there has been precipitation, I believe this explains the current condition fairly well. At least the current condition is quite dry, no rain there in the last week or so. Should minimize the areas with super sticky muck. Have fun, Gary T Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
