Steve and I will be joining you, but may not make the 10:00 table time. You'll know us by Steve's black Subaru with the yellow and blue DIN's on top.

We will be running the less challenging courses, this weekend, until we get the feel of these new boats.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Friday afternoon levels - New River

Post by unclefuzzy »

The flow at Hinton and Thurmond is 2280 cfs. This translates to about -6" on the paddlers gauge at Fayette Station. My guess is that it will be about the same or slightly lower tomorrow (Saturday).

At this and lower levels, it's a good idea to stay upright when running Lower Keeney to avoid hitting your head on the underwater ledge near the bottom of the rapid.

Have fun....
