Phatwater on the Natchez Gauge today is at 28.5′. I’ve got a lot I want to cover but we’re pretty busy right now with last minute tidbits, such as ridding ourselves of fire ant beds on the front lawn so our camping paddlers won’t awaken at midnight with a roving army of carnivorous sadists bent [...]
The Phatwater on the Natchez gauge today is 27.26′. The rises from last weeks mid-west rains continue to pile up the water here. Melissa and I took a run up to Rifle Point yesterday, about 1645, and much of the silt had dropped out of the water, although, as with every rise, there was a great [...]
The Phatwater on the Natchez Gauge today is 24.85′, down from a year ago by 8.33′, when it was 33.18′. Overcast skies indicate more rain through the weekend with significant rainfall in southern Iowa which will make its way here in about 10 days, so we are probably looking at comparable water to last year’s [...]
Here you will find the results from last year’s Phatwater. In time I will learn how better navigate and post items such as this to our site. Right now, I’m a neophyte, and frankly, with the race just 2 weeks away, I don’t have time to ratchet up my skill level for operating this blog [...]

Wrigley-A Dog This is an old photograph of an old friend whose breed is even older. According to the American Kennel Club, the term bloodhound is a reference to the extensive lengths to which the breed was crossed in order to produce the desired traits for its incomparable tracking and trailing ability: Thus, it was [...]
Here’s a shot of the, “Fastest Woman On The River” when she was about 5 years old, standing next to her brother Jeff, near what is now the Bailey Park area of Natchez Under-The-Hill. The astute among you will note there is but one bridge where two now stand. That’s the Delta Queen, no longer [...]
We must be doing something right because the spammers have caught on to our new site and have heaped upon us offers for viagra and testosterone enhancers. Phatwater Gauge at Natchez today is 21.25′, down from a year ago about 5.75′. We sent out several shots of the Phatwater Bowie #V yesterday, and have had [...]
Phatwater Natchez Gauge this morning is 21.46′, roughly four and a half feet below the level a year ago today. Projected rains throughout the South and Southeast should keep things stable. Reports of “hundreds of banded water snakes” invading schools, neighborhoods and Popeyes Fried Chicken restaurants throughout the Mississippi River corridor have not been substantiated [...]
Quick note: Phatwater on the Natchez Gauge today is at 21.52′, a year ago it was above 25 this same day. We met with the Mayor of Natchez, Hizzoner Jake Middleton, and sold him some Phatwater Bowie Knife tickets: Then, as soon as we walked out of his office, we came across Chuck Mayfield, our [...]
