I'm a newbie and if I'm considering coming out to Webster Springs for this event. Since it's short notice I'll likely camp.

Hello! I'd love to join this trip - because I love potlucks and paddling with all of you, but I checked gauges today, and it looks like almost every river you mentioned on AW is below the recommended level of flow? Is this user error? Am I missing something? However - rain is in the forecast... Does anyone know how much rain we need to make these rivers runnable and fun?

Any input would be nice, trying to decide if it's worth the 5 hour drive and expense... Thank you!

All legitimate questions (unlike Guy).

Keep an eye on this:

It looks promising so I'm hopeful.

From personal experience of a few weeks ago, I can say the Upper Meadow (including the paddle out) is good down to 450 on the Nallen gauge.



Also, so the group is aware, it looks like I'm out for Sunday. I'm sure you can figure it out on your own though.
