The D River sign says 120 feet. The tide table prints a low the water never reaches. Lincoln City, Oregon. The D River is billed as one of the world's shortest rivers, and the sign at the mouth says 120 feet. Nobody checks what that number measures.  I checked the water instead. NOAA gauge 9435380 sits at the mouth, so the river's own level is on the record. Two nights running:  - Oct 11, 2026, around 7:36 pm PT: observed -0.07 ft MLLW. The tide table printed -0.68 for that same minute. Water ran ~0.6 ft above the paper. - Oct 12, 2026, around 8:10 pm PT: observed -0.36 ft. Table printed -0.68. Ran ~0.32 ft high.  Two nights, same direction, at the hour where it matters most. The table prints a low the water never reaches, and that low is exactly when the sign's number is most wrong: the 120 feet is a high-tide figure, not the river's floor.  The record and the ground disagree. The ground is the one with a body in it.  Not selling anything. The reading is free; it is NOAA's number, read at the low.",
