The river guages on the Flint are a poor indicator sometimes because the level is dam controlled. I have been on the river and passed an area with a covered shoal,and came back a couple hours later to see that shoal exposed completely.Quote:

Go to love your neighbors to the north :-(Quote:

After floating by very, very many beer bottles and cans, I came up on a straight 8 cyl crankshaft, followed very quickly by limbs from a large tree that I almost got caught up in, I called the dive a few yards later when I came up on a huge ball of barbed wire. Tree limbs I think I could handle, barbed wire, maybe not.
On edit, pretty darn sure the dump for Albany years back was on the banks of the Flint, so whenever we got a good rain and high river levels, Albany got their dump cleaned out
Ironically,the clean water used to make Coors beer in Golden,Co,passes 100ft from a superfund site.Quote:
