    Last time I floated the Mulberry was in 1985. Six of us guys from AP&L. We never left our canoes cause we were skeered. Kept hearing banjo music all along the shoreline

    Jim... Any chance you were at ANO in '85?

    I was between my freshman/sophomore years at Tech that summer and was an assistant on a fisheries research project funded by AP&L (headed up the work my junior/senior years there)... Our boat/gear was kept in a boathouse in the effluent bay of the nuke plant (probably one of the many reasons I am the way I am ). The boathouse is gone but, believe it or not, I'm pretty certain that big ol' blue 'barge' is still visible on Google Earth imagery, sitting in a lot near the water on-site.

    Seasonally; we did weekly nighttime larval fish sampling via meter-net pulls at multiple sites on Dardanelle... I spent untold hours in the lab, hunched over pans of formalin-preserved larvals, peering through a lighted magnifier and counting/identifying thousands of the little bastages (yet another reason for my current state). We also did radiological sampling (gill/trammel nets) and age and growth determinations of adult fish, as well as an annual cove rotenone sample...

    Good times (and also why I went wildlife, rather than fisheries, when I went to grad school ).

    I was with Entergy from 1979 until 1996. I was with Entergy Operations in Jackson, MS from 1987 until 1995. We managed the nuclear plants in AR, MS, LA and TX. Spent a lot of time at all the plants.

They searched for days before the water finally subsided a bit and they found his body stuck in a root wad well downstream.

    Now, after listening to that story, are you sure you want to do this? lol
    My son is a kayaker. They call those root wads "strainers"
