Approaching several year low again. Bowels of the earth exposed. Packed and headed down shortly. Please, no rain. Must hike in to a hot spot that needs low water to get the treasures. Difficult spot to access. Need river below 150 CFM. Now at 78. Am pumped. Hotel room reserved. Wish me well. 100 CFM does not happen often:

Ack! Missed this thread. Good hunting!
James is after the solid corals for tumbling and I'm looking for the hollows for display. Maybe I can get the coordinates if the hunting report is good and river conditions are still favorable. Easy 3ish hour drive to area, and I have WAY too much free time.
No MacGyvered john boat, is it walkable or would a (rented) canoe work?
hmmmmm ...

After the the frustrating events on your property earlier, glad you finally got a chance to get some Coral King time. Sounds like you have optimum conditions!

captbob, my thoughts exactly! WHO is more important than us, LOL? I refuse to join Facebook, just so I can see his coral trip pics. Thinking maybe this is a joke on all of us that jamesp and Mike Fossilman cooked up??? If it is for real, I second your assessment that James is a BUTTHEAD.
