I’m monitoring the river gauge and it doesn’t look like any flooding , nor is flooding expected. I expect fishing to be poor with all this rain. Most of the rain should pass by Saturday 8 am, but still chance of rain, thunderstorms. water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=bigm7&wfo=sgf Kathy

Shelly and I are at Slabtown, we have it all to ourselves. We got under tarp before the big rain, but still looks like more overnight and remnants until 10A.

I’m driving down to Boiling Springs conservation area early Sat morning with Roger. Seems like camping Friday night is scarce and rainy. Saturday should be nice as well as Sunday . If you have to pack a wet tent to use following night, put the main tent in a plastic bag, separate from fly, to try to keep it dry . I’m watching river gauge and all looks good . Kathy

I hate camping in the rain. My plan now is to leave early enough to meet you all at Boiling Springs Access at 8. See you all then!

Wes is supposed to come with Shelly and I. We hope/plan to just stay at Slabtown (remain setup for tonight and tomorrow), and shuttle ourselves. Another camper at Slabtown would guarantee that we can shuttle from there for both days. We can save a spot for another camper.

Dave Haessig is unable to make this trip. Dennis and I will co lead this trip as a pop up. Same trip, without the paperwork and fees. We will still meet at Boiling Springs Conservation area at 8 am . My phone , Kathy, 3144023038 , Dennis 3149715198. There will likely be little cell service out there. It’s raining most of today and tonight, so better glow Saturday. Kathy

Shelly and I are going to try Slabtown access tonight. There are three sites. We'll be there before noon today. Looks like a setup in the rain, with plenty more to come. Should be good floating if not too much water. We'll see y'all at Boiling Springs at 8A SAT.

Dennis, I would love to share a site with you if it’s available. I was hoping to be in or around Licking by 5 or 6. Hotel is a last resort.
My cell is (973) 216-8461. Text me yours so we can connect.
Thanks

Mark, There are two relatively inexpensive motels in Licking, that would put you about 15-20 minutes from the put-in. The next closest public campground is Lane Spring Recreation area on the Little Piney. It is off of 63 about 15 miles south of Rolla. They generally have some open first come first serve spots available. That would put you about 35-40 minutes from the put-in. I will probably go down early tomorrow afternoon and could let you know if they have anything available. I could check on a group site if enough people are interested.

I saw that too, Dennis. Have called two campgrounds left messages but no luck reaching anyone. I plan to come down Friday too. With or without a reservation.
If anyone has a reservation and can fit another tent I’m all for it. Otherwise I may just take my chances.
Other thoughts?

Kathy, Isn't Boiling Spring Capground in Dixon on the Gasconade? I' not aware of anyone taking over Boiling Spring Resort on the Big Piney which has a Licking address. The closest Capground I know of that is open is Wildness Ridge resort which is right by the Ross access where we will take out.

Thank you, Kathy. I wish I had a boat large enough to camp & sturdy enough to get beat up a bit
