OCT Sunday, May 10 (Mother's Day) Bottom Tye or Piney

Post by **GinnyN** » Tue May 05, 2015 8:33 am

The bottom Tye trip is water level/weather dependent as to which river(s). We need at least 150 cfs from a combination of these two gages:
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/va/nwis/uv/?site_no=02027000 - Tye
and
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/va/nwis/uv/?site_no=02027500 - Piney

right now have plenty! with 345 cfs. To do just the Piney we'll need 120 in the Piney - now 155. I don't know whether that will hold - doubt it, unless we get some rain.

In any case, it's a fun class II. We will meet at Tye River Depot on this map http://goo.gl/maps/NtlFV to set shuttle.

If we do the Piney/Tye we’ll put in at Rose Mill and take out at the race put in (8 river miles).
If only the slightly easier Tye is available – we’ll put in at Tye River Depot and take out at Ruckers Run (10 river miles).
feel free to contact me if you need further directions.

You can check this website for other maps and such too http://www.nelsoncountyva.org/NelDRace/

Please contact me to let me know you're going.

Let's meet at Tye River Depot at 11:30 Sunday.

we'll figure out which river when we get there, unless somebody has a strong preference now.
