Jerry, I certainly understand your frustration. Betty has reminded me several times how many canoe tickets you sell and the club truly appreciates your efforts. As you know we have an increasingly difficult time getting volunteers for the races. The committee decided we would attempt to make the races a little easier and decided to look at several issues with the races. One area was the raffle. After careful review of the financial records we realized we barely broke even with the canoe. It is a difficult job to get deals for our canoe. The Alpine Shop has again supported us with the races and this year has told us They plan to give us money from the proceeds of pint night to use as we needed rather than a canoe deal. The committee plans to appropriate that money for other needs however we have not received the funds as of yet and we must plan ahead. If it weren’t for one of our members giving us a good deal for the kayak we could be in the same boat with it. That is the reason we have decided to only raffle off a kayak this year. I am sure the committee would be happy to revisit the idea of a canoe raffle again next year however again that will depend on volunteers and our finances Again we so appreciate your support and understand your concerns.
Thanks, Slim

We had a similar experience on the Upper Jacks . Was astonished to find it has been turned into a 4 wheel drive park. I witnessed a large group of vehicles cross the river just above Chauk Bluff. They proceeded to tear up one of the most beautiful gravel bar in the state. Then when we got near Bay Creek . There were atv’s and trucks park all over the gravel bars. I know the NPS has limited resources. Looking at the blatant disregard for the laws. I don’t think anyone has been ticketed for some time. These are state laws. You can only cross the river at established fords. Also goes for parking motorized vehicles.

Thanks for posting Jim
2 important gauges on the chopping block.
Upper Jacks Fork at Mountain View
Upper Meramec at Cook Station
It gives contacts as
Paul Rydlund email prydlund@ usgs. gov phone 573-308-3572
Shane Barks email csbarks@usgs.gov phone 573-308-3574
So please contact these guys and ask them to save our gauges .
I see that none of the gauges down in Arkansas are being cut. Some of them privately funded with advertising on them . Why can’t Mo do that.
Also they try to cut funding during the previous administration. I don’t think they realize how important they are to us boaters. Please let them know.
