As of Tuesday, the forecast is a level of about 2.5 feet (very nice) and temperatures in the upper 70s. We'll camp at Tall Oaks in the pavilion.
Please post here if you are interested. Also message me your email and cell number. Be sure to let us know if you are new to the the lower Yough or consider it a challenge so we can make sure you are well-supported.

Thursday afternoon update — We have enough good paddlers for a fun and safe trip. However, there is still room for more.
The Army Corps of Engineers reports: “The project is releasing 840 cfs today and plans to hold releases throughout the weekend. The Ohiopyle gage is at 4.2' and rising. Ohiopyle should stay above 3.0’ throughout the weekend.“
This is a very fun level, but probably a bit too pushy for first-timers.
The weather forecast is partly cloudy with little chance of rain. The high temperatures on Saturday are in the lower 70s and on Sunday in the lower 80s.

Looks like the Yough is going to be pretty high on Saturday. However, the Casselman has plenty of water and should be a lot of fun.
