You are right about the St. Francis River. I drove over it several times
yesterday. I know someone who was going to float it Monday, but it was too
high to float. Unfortunately there is now a 1,600 acre clear cut that the
river flows through the middle of. Apparently, a crossing of the river was
illegally constructed to access the land on the other side of the river.
The clear cut was to feed a chip mill.
The Black River was even worse than the St. Francis. The muddy water was
still in the tree tops.

Lake Carlyle might not be a good place to visit about now. I wonder how
the Hazelnut Cache is faring with the high water? The St. Frances river is
rocking. I bet all the whitewater kayakers are out playing in the water.
