One of the remotest segments of the Withlacoochee River, yet

the three of us who went. I got especially intimate with the river,

The water level continued up from yesterday, when it was
17.66 feet on the USGS guage at Skipper Bridge in Lowndes County, Georgia
at 9:46 AM when I took these pictures.
Flood stage is 15 feet.
It was so high you could have floated over the chain link fence the county
put in when
it replaced the bridge, thus preventing normal use of this bridge
as a Withlacoochee River access point on the
Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail.

Gretchen Quarterman took these pictures on the
Withlacoochee and Suwannee paddle: springs, shoals, and pipeline 21 Sept 2014.
This was a long outing Chris Mericle organized down two rivers with many people, past springs, shoald, and sinkholes,
and past the crossings formerly proposed by Spectra Energy for its Sabal “Sinkhole” Trail fracked methane pipeline before it moved upstream on the Suwannee,
as seen
2015-08-15 and
2015-11-15.
It was also before we started the
Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail.
