Yesterday from Troupville Boat Ramp around the Little River Confluence and up the Withlacoochee River, we were stopped by the same CiHiG Deadfall that stopped us back on November 23, 2024.
Troupville upstream Withlacoochee River chainsaw cleanup, Saturday, February 8, 2025
The lower log was partly exposed yesterday, but not enough to get two cuts out of it.
The water level was 119.88 feet NAVD88 on the Valdosta Gauge.
We also went up the Little River a few miles and back. More on that later.
Meanwhile, today you can join us for Langdale Park Downstream Withlacoochee Chainsaw Cleanup 2025-02-09.
Yesterday, TJ Johnson, leading this expedition, got one good cut in with wedges to keep it from jamming the saw.

It was easier to go under the big log above deadfall, with the water about half a foot lower than back in November.
