It's in northeast Oregon, right across the border.  Basically it's the Tri-Cities equivalent to the powerhouse, only more difficult and less water.

You'll have to talk to the spokompton boaters on here.  I'd keep the spokane over the Umi, though.  And I'm not talking about the class 2 section in Pendleton, I'm talking about the 3 mile dam section.  I'm just trying to be lazy and and get a one click check.  She's up to ELFing flows now.

Olympics, dude? We need a Queets guage! pretty please

Now thats what I'm talking about! The more rivers on the home page the merryer. Can you make it rain too James?

good point franz, that way james could have more time boating and less time tweakin' the site.

I have an idea® How about having some of heavily used rivers pop up automatically when they are in the recommended range?

Phhhhtttt.............

pilchuck creek - 600 is low. 3000 is high for the middle section with the waterfall. The upper needs more water to go - 1300 minimum.

Got the CC Lewis up, and I am going to work on the gauge for Pilchuck and the Mosh Pit but they are in a funky format 4 sure. Well see how that goes when I get off workski.

How about the Chilliwack River? :)

check our our festival, May 3rd and 4th, on the Chilliwack river, BC

Sorry James, I know nothing of the technically issues - but now that you explain, I do notice that I've not seen any other sites with it as you say... probably some gov't thing... shame really.

Also FYI Christian, I have been bouncing emails off a few folks that work for water survey of canada in the pacific and yukon region. I am working on developing a relationship as a public service member so we can access all of the different gauge values they have in BC and use the data here, there is a ton of rivers and drainages covered.

I will keep you updated on this because it would be so sweet to have the streaming values of stuff like Cayoosh, Birkenhead, Soo, Thompson, Ashlu (new gauge), Chillwack, Even big silver!!!! Make trip planning a whole lot more accurate.

Uh the Ministry of Environment was less than helpful and basically told me that because they don't warrant the value of the data, they also don't make it readily available.

I explained just how easy it would be, to make it available through web services and the such and they were pretty against it. The best offer I had was to receive an email once each morning to an address, which would have a pdf file attached containing the flow data.

Another virtually useless method for data parsing...

I gave up trying to think of methods and realized they are working to find methods that prevent what I am doing on purpose!
