they have too much water and were releasing it from the dam and that made for poor fishing. delivered one to Wichita and picked up another in El Paso. flying into El Paso (Dona Anna airport, 5T6) in the late afternoon, I was blinded by the sun and dust. water temperature was 40F. cheap lightweight waders make you talk like a girl.
after heavy overnight rain in Wichita my radio indicated a stuck mic and I suspected water on the contacts. not sure how it got there but it did. I connected my handheld and proceeded onward. at the Tucumcari fuel stop I reconnected the coax to the primary radio and it worked fine after that.
on the return leg, again in Wichita after more rain, I sumped the tanks and found about a teaspoon of water in both sides.
