Rode by the wild A.M today the water level is low. There is some snow in the mountains. But you get away from the mountains. Less snow then I have at my House. Looks like they have had some high water during the winter. Don"t think it was high enought to move stuff around. Very little snow in Bath and Woodsville. Looking like low water levels again this year. Unless we get alot of rain.

N.H there still alot of ice. But I think there are some areas you can get into. Rain thursday hopefully will get rid of some of the ice. The low lands have very little snow. Did see one guy prospecting in Warren. By the bridge in the small park.

GOING CRAZY! Sitting around the house is getting to me. If I can get into the river I will be digging, ice might be a problem. If nothing else it's a day out of the house! Hopefully with the rain coming it might move some of the ice, fingers crossed! I only want to get into one spot. I'm more worried about getting down the bank than getting in. If successful I'll take some pics! If not you'll hear it on the news. LOL! Got to have some sort of adventure! :icon_thumleft:

Im thinking a few more weeks. And no large amount of snow or real cold weather. And some warm days it will be a go for sure. The low lands looked like spring. But by lost river still winter.With 8-10 inches of snow. Where there a will theres a way.

Drown no! The water is not that deep, it's the toboggan ride to the bottom of the bank and a sudden stop!

Anybody else here have any experience out in the field with this particular machine?
