There's going to be plenty of water. Would the group consider putting in at Indian Pool (further upstream, at the "stairs" pull over) instead of the Ledges?

It's dropping faster than anticipated,37 cfs an hour.Unless it slows down,we will be looking at around 550 cfs.We can customize the trip for different folk,although above lava falls the river is too wide and bony for my rockgrabbing IK.It will be a little warmer,and less wind tomorrow.See you manana

Not sure which gauge you are following. If you are looking at the Maury at Buena Vista, it is 2440 cfs now and if it drops 40 cfs/hour, it will still be 2000 tomorrow. I usually follow the Rockbridge Baths gauge, which is at 1270 cfs now and will still probably be close to 1000 cfs tomorrow. Plenty of water for those rocky areas! Take a look tomorrow and see what you think. Should be a beautiful day.

I'll be there. I like the suggestion of putting in at Indian Pool.

Regina,The Buena vista guage is downstream aways,and with added creeks and such usually has about twice as much water as the Goshen}rockbridge baths guage.I use the AWA guage because that tells me in cfs how quickly the water is going up or down. Just now looking at guage ,I am happy that loss has been slowed down to 20cfs,so we may have around 800 tomorrow,which we will all enjoy.Come join us....

Kurt Sisson and I will be there; we're planning on running from Indian Pools down unless it's extremely low.
