    Westbrook Rd by Will McDearman

    river stage at USGS downstream gauge at Hwy 25. River at typical low summer flow without recent rain or big discharge from upstream reservoir. Test was acquired at an alternative, but biologically equivalent, upstream site because of limited time and down timber that require a detour around previous normal path to established test site on downstream sandbar. Alternative site is just upstream near old abandoned Lake Hico water intake tower. No tributaries on either site of river enter the river between this alternative test site and the standard test site. Alternative site requires dropping down a very steep near vertical river bank, and climbing out.
