November Suwannee River BBQ , River Ride and Party - November 4 - 7 - 2021

[Tom Foley]

I’ve been Patiently waiting since the beginning of July for my property to return …. Finally making some progress

It has been a crazy two years Dan !!!

Yeah that's why I went to the other coast, not fond of sturgeon either.

Just water moccasin and Gators In the Saint John's

River has really started to fall , hope this trend continues steadily through the next 8 weeks !

The USGS guage at Wilcox shows current flow near 20k feet per second and normal is about 7k. For those of you with local knowledge, what's the likelihood the river can get down to normal flow in 4 weeks. Suwannee seems slow to drop unlike NC rivers. I have a vrbo house rented and want to recover any $$ I can if chances are not good. Thanks.

I was there yesterday and it’s super high. This will be my first event to attend, so idk hopefully it will continue to drop in the coming weeks and does not rise again. Definitely too much debris to run fast safely, as long as it’s falling debris should clear up( fingers crossed) just my two cent, others probably know better than me. I will be there in my 21’ cougar every weekend as soon as it’s fixed, one more week!

it can come down as long as the rain stops , probably not far enough for the springs to clear up ,the forecast looks good with little rain in the coming weeks so it’s a good start , cross ya fingers my place been flooded since the beginning of July

It’s suppose to crest at 17’ by me on oct 1 then start dropping again ……..the highest I like is 12’ by my place

[DangerNewb]

Thanks for the input. So the river is "open"? I know one year a couple years back the entire event was moved to the southern portion of the St. Johns. I seem to recall that boats were not permitted to launch at that time, but memory may be wrong. Thanks again.

[dgscroggs]

Flood stage is 17’ by me so technically if it’s at 16.99 we can launch , but I think it’ll drop fast enough to be ok…………..NO MORE RAIN !!!! PLEASE

has a lot to do with rainfall in GA , fingers crossed no rain and from what I hear it could be perfect- Santa Fe was no wake I heard , but Suwannee open. No speed limits when all the no wake signs under water right??!!!!!

River will be going down . Hit this link for continuous updates of river level at the Wilcox station near US 19 . Anything below 7 is ok .

For the first time EVVVVVEEEEERRRRR, I am coming!

I think I’ll actually make it this time Tom!
Tried for all 9 yrs that we lived down there and something always blew up in my face.

My buddy/brother/Rumble on the River partner Tony Wilson called me yesterday and invited us down for it.

Booked our flights this morning.

Yeeeeee hahhhhhh!

Cant wait.

[Tom Foley]

Wow , great news Gary ! Can't wait to bull**** with you around the fire !
