Probably heading up for some pm laps, should anyone care to join. Also... does anyone have a wood report (I haven't been up there at all this spring).

The main run is free of wood. FITW proper has some wood in the cave and possibly other wood.
Use the first take out after the green room. You can most likely use the take out right above Rootball but there is some wood to squeeze by. Rootball has wood in it. |

I'd be up for a run on Wednesday evening. Ran it on Sunday with JP and Ryan and really enjoyed it. Anyone interested in carpooling? I'm on main campus of Microsoft but I could meet somewhere on I-90 if that works better for people. Gerard 425-503-2020 |

Hey Gerard--- Fun paddling with you on Sunday. I'm planning on wed, too. And/or Thurs. HOWEVER!!-- Robe has dropped into the parameters of my humble zone. I may try to swing up there, instead (not to highjack another's thread.) jP 206-755-2336 ------------- 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋 |

| What was the flow last night folks? |

Flow was a solid medium. Water was washing over the upstream peak of the gage rock. Temperature was 80. Flow is coming pretty much all from the top so the gage should be correlating very well with what's up there. Get on it. -N |

| Ryan, I would like to get on FITW and was wondering if I could tag along tonight. I've never run it, but I am a solid boater with some good east coast creeks under my belt. I get off work at 4. Let me know. |

I'd like to hit FITW on the way over to the Cooper tomorrow afternoon. Anyone interested. I can probably be up there somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-6 depending on who ends up carpooling. ------------- |

| How was the level Thursday night? |
Posted By: Fish
Date Posted: 11 Jul 2008 at 9:50am
| Levels are low. Been there the last couple days and it has steadily dropped. I'd say another 10 days of low water laps before she falls out. Get up there while u can! |

Thursday night was still fine, esspecially for the low water crowd. the "cup was totally exposed, 80% (maybe-hard to say) full of water, but no water spilling in or out. Not too boney yet except in the class II flavored sections. Fisherman's was Cakey (I don't like to say "cake" out of respect for all whitewater the world over--never know when or where spankings could occur)
I figure I have a few more trips (2 or 3) in up there before I call it too low. ------------- 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋 |
