[pykemike]

That darn Jimbos, thats the way he said you must have gone in a PM........I still think you're NUTS!!!;) Glad to see you are looking for a hoovercraft.

[Jimbos]

LOL,,,Paul, I swear I seen his post earlier and I was going to PM you.....Only way it could be done though, yep, good spot in that corner on the downstream side of the crossdike.

Screw that stuff, there still has to be a hell of a current between the hole-in-the-wall and the upstream side of Sugar. That current screams between Sugar and the dike.

[pykemike]

i went with a guy who does this often when the ice jams up. not to be a know it all but doesnt the sag river have a strong current also? we are suppoed to go back tom. usually they take boats over there its a little nerve racking walking but it is only 4-5 ft most of the way you can see bottom.

[rivrat1959]

well if I would have guessed, I Think that you took the only way possible. man that still seems mighty risky. and yes that is a heck of a current between sugar and the hole in the wall. oh well you got more guts than I do. think I'll stick to a boat.
