Rafting on the NRG

I'm just putting out a feeler to see if this is possible: My sister and some of her friends would like to do some rafting on the NRG at some point soon. She said there was a trip with her school, but it was around 200 bucks to go, so I told her I would ask the local paddlers and see what I could com...

I'll be there with some paddlers from college for their PFD's. I'm sure we'll see y'all at P&P or Rays at some point this weekend.

Any locals paddling Goshen this evening

just a quick check to see if any locals are heading to Goshen to catch the end of the bubble tonight. I should be able to get down there around 6:30ish, but I don't want to make the trip if nobody is gonna be there.

I'll start, since my Cheat Fest ended prematurely. I was driving out there Saturday morning in my new-ish Jeep that I picked up Friday morning. At 6am, in Highland County, a deer jumped out of the woods and cut across the road. Boom. Busted radiator, ac condenser, power steering pump. Hitchhiked to ...

Big water day in Goshen Pass

Since I was the first to swim, I'll start off the report. Everything was looking like a great day on the Pass, it was warm, sunny, and LOTS of water (4.7ft USGS, about 1800cfs). We had 1 first timer, and 3 vets. The first section was uneventful, the smaller playspots were washed out, and some of the...

now that i'm not trying to look at levels on my cellphone, I have reviewed the situation for Thursday. If it continues dropping at the current rate of ~80cfs/hr, by 10:00am tomorrow it will be around 1400cfs, which is big, but still a comfortable level (for me at least). So, 10:00am at Indian Pools,...

its looking like it will be very close to, if not above 2000 cfs Wed morning, which I am not comfortable running, esp with a small, mixed group. Thursday should be more manageable levels, depending on how fast it drops. Lets tentatively say 10:00am at Indian pools, but that might change. Keep coming...

thursday might actually be a better choice. i've only run it once this high, and thursday it might be approaching a more reasonable level (- 1500). and who knows how high it might go overnight.

I'll re-assess when i get off work tonight and repost.
