Posting a trip to gauge interest. I'll check the gauge tomorrow to see whats interesting.

Something class IV close to Seattle. Maybe CC Stilly? Open to ideas.

I am not ready for CC, but if there is no other interest in that I would be down for something in the III-IV range. I know there is still snow around Lake Cavanaugh to melt so maybe we'll get lucky and Pilchuck Creek will come in.

Here is the DOE gauge. It is graph only.

I don't really know how they correlate.

350 would be a good low flow, not sure when a healthy medium comes in. Probably around 450. Anyone know?

34 degrees tonight so it may not come too much even with some sprinkles.

How low is too low?

We ran it Saturday and I think it was around 310 and the Robe gauge dropped from 4.9 to 4.8.

It's not too low, definitely still fun and easy to run laps. Bumping rocks here and there but the bigger rapids are still clean. I was really surprised.

Work on that wood in the Headwall rapid while you guys are out there ... your going to need a good saw and several ropes with a pulley and safety kit

I'll aim for 4:30 at takeout. hopefully I can leave Redmond by 3.

Any idea if hwy 9 is better to avoid traffic? or just 405 on up.
