Boelus News

Sunday afternoon, the South Loup River is down about twenty cfs, with a reading of 90.1, the Middle Loup River is also down from Labor Day, with a reading of 582 cfs. The North Loup River dropped as well; it’s down to 909 cfs, although it’s above average for this date, whereas the other two are below average. The fall weather has been here. I really like the cooler temperatures and lower humidity. My flowers are acting tired of blooming and some of the ash trees are turning yellow. Shawn and I tried teal hunting one morning; we didn’t see any until we looked at the neighbor’s ponds. I guess they knew where to be to stay safe.
