Phil Hubbard sawed many deadfalls large to medium from Langdale Park Boat Ramp downstream on the Withlacoochee River Sunday.

Many deadfalls cleared, Langdale Park downstream, Withlacoochee River, Chainsaw Cleanup 2025-02-09

We stopped a bit above Sugar Creek, because of outboard fuel issues, plus the whole trip ended up eight hours, which is enough for one day.

Thanks to Phil Hubbard for leading this one.

While my job was basically boat driver, I did saw a bit, as well.

The water level was 119.6 feet NAVD88 at noon on the Valdosta Gauge.

Thanks to Wild Green Future for the grant that bought the 9.9hp outboard, the 24-inch Husqvarna chainsaw (which we did not need to use this time), and the twin LiFePO4 batteries which we did use along with the 86lb thrust trolling motor.

TJ Johnson is leading the next chainsaw cleanup, this Saturday, when we will go again at the Withlacoochee River upstream from Troupville 2025-02-15.
