Slate Creek (Tributary of St. Joe River)

The painted gauge on NE side of bridge on piling is somewhat deceptive: If the Joe is quite high, so it will reflect on the gage as the backwater may falsely elevate the gauge even if Slate may not be running high. On the other hand, we ran Slate Sat 5/1/04 when the gauge was dry, well below 0 and the Joe was 4760cfs, yet Slate was similar in nature to when gauge read 1 ft? Difficult to say what the gauge really means.
