    You can find some lakes that the river is not in right now. There are still some that the river is still in though.

    I just called the refuge office and they said that they roads through the refuge are still closed, so it would be hard to get to alot of lakes right now.

    Are you talking about Little Jones lake around Ethel?? If so, I don't think you can get there by driving because the gate at Ethel is still closed. You may be able to get there by boat. I have never got in there by boat, but I know I have got real close before. It would be a major pain to do though.

    I will keep yall updated. If I had to guess as to how long until they will open the gates, I would say another month or so. Seems like the refuge is always slow about doing stuff.

    I heard that it will be at least a month because the river is still out on the south end and over some of the roads.

    Well, with the river at St. Charles being 22.31 ft. today, the road through the north unit is for the most part dry. I am pretty sure that I have drove down the road at 22 ft. before without any problem. I know it needs to be around 24 ft. to close it. The South unit road should be dry except for a low spot or two. Last I heard, the refuge was assessing the damage to the road due to the flood and fixing what they needed to fix. I don't know why they are so worried about the roads now. They never have been before. They always let the roads go to He!!. I thought I have lost few front ends driving down those refuge roads before.
