They'd be portaging the boats upstream!

We had 12 Paddlers yesterday on a beautiful midsummer day - mid 80s, low humidity, and blue skies. The water level was ~600 cfs when the Buchanan and Buena Vista gages are combined. People have run itower, but I doubt I will run it that low again. Paddlers were Terri in an IK, Chris, GK, Savannah, J...

Glad to have you Edwin. Combined flow is at about 650 now. We'll meet at 11 at Locher Landing. It'd be great to be running shuttle at 11 by I already posted meet time so we'll see.

We'll have to decide afterwards if this level is in ELF territory (extremely low flow)!

awesome news!

Hello paddlers! I am on the schedule to lead a trip this Saturday at Balcony Falls. The water level today is 685 cfs at Buchannon, plus whatever might be trickling down the Maury, and no real rain in the forecast. I've never paddled it that low, but my record keeping is not that great. I'll check wi...

Hey Tom, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could've been. Hoping you have a quick heal.

I'm in!

I'll be there!

I think I responded outside the forum, but in case I didn't, I'll be there for the cleanup. I'll make a decision about the paddle later this week.

Thanks Alicia!

I'll be there, but staying off site this year. Looking forward to it!

Hey just a quick note. The high rains in the area last week caused a mudslide that closed I-40 again. I don't know if they have finished assessments and timelines for re-opening again. Hopefully your trip is far enough out to not be affected.

I'm in - see you there

It looks like over on facebook Jenny W is posting for an Appomattox trip and Travis O is posting for Maury BV to Glasgow if you are in need of an alternate paddle plan.

[also posted to fb] I've heard from 8 people that are interested, and right now if I had to guess I'd say we are doing Rockbridge Baths, but I'd like to watch the gage for another day. currently at 2.71 ft and maybe starting to level off, with less then 0.5 inch more rain in the forecast. Will make ...

after consulting with a few trusted advisors, and due to multiple unforseen circumstances, I am cancelling the official trip. Rockbridge Baths water level is at the border between mid- and hi-flow, and there are storms expected today so I don't know what the water levels will do. Additionally, I hav...
