The Ouachitas went off Wednesday(May 6) in a major way. Team Green rallied to the land of the gnar in the vicinity off the South Cedar drainage. We expected some full on boating and quickly realized that things were definitely gonna be BIG in those hills. After thinking about a list of goods in the area we decided to go to upper Mill Creek (Desoto run) and check the flow. Upon arrival Jody and I were stoked to see enough water for a 1st d! We then scouted possible lines while waiting on Greg to arrive. Once he got there, we set safety and I fired up the right of center channel into the main channel for the 1st d. Greg then fired up the main channel. I would say it was at a minimal flow for this run and with more water it will be sick for sure. Next, we went to South Cedar Creek and found it to be HUGE! Joe B and Todd showed up shortly after us ready to huck. We ran the upper drops, but the Chief was 5+ and bigtime burly. The line was there, but the Chief was definitely on the warpath and there were no takers this time. After lapping the other drops we decided to go to the Pineda slides on upper South Cedar Creek and found it at a medium flow. At that level the slides were easy money and a satisfying way to wrap up our day. We experienced sunny skies, huge flows, and class 3-5+ western bedrock style creeking in the Ouachita Mountains. What more could a boater ask for? It was another great day for sure.
