I just talked with the Howard Hanson Dam regulator today about flow. They will release 1800 cfs today around 12:30, increasing to around 2k by tonight.

Heha- its all just "slight of hand", Dale-- I'm learning the approximate lag time between the storms and when they realease out of Howie Hanson.

Speaking of this delayed reaction, it is about 2,200- perfect medium flows.

Anyone want to go paddle the Classic Version of the Green?
'Cuz I said it once and I'll say a hundered more times- that 1000-1500 range is just litterally good for "scraping by". Once you get about 2,000 in there, you're boating on The Real Green. As it would be running more often without the dam

So who wants to join me and Scott out there and get some quality water?

Grinch? Dale?

Well, I may be down if its mid 2,000's or so. Today's sort of my better window to boat.

C'mon PPeeps-
(Ain't even gonna try to twist Nutty P's arm)
Gotta be someone out there who is available for some green goodness.

I do have a bike though- probably just boot that up...

I wish I could.  Might be able to Thursday afternoon... or more likely Sat or Sunday, depending on whether it's still running of course.

I'm trying for tomorrow, better chance (still slim) for Thursday, and resigned to the weekend warrior status. Oh well.

jP, I'm really jealous, it's a nice afternoon with good Green flows!

Going out Sunday as well. Upper gorge. I plan to be at Paradise between 11 and noon. Probably earlier than later to maximize sunshine in the gorge.

Level seems to be hovering around 1,570 which is a prime medium low. All the pour-over boofs have good coverage without too pushy of an approach, but healthy enough current to make some dynamic sh*t happen. I love these flows.

Weather should be nice.

Come on out!

Flow is still hangin' tough at 1,540 or so--

Great water level! Looking pretty sunny out here in Black Diamond, some wisps of cloud but it should be a fine day.

Gonna drop down into the Paradise area soon- so I will be out of cell range. I'll be down there way early just hanging out. It is looking like 11:30 or so when some people are showing.

Who knows? Grinch may already be down there enjoying his own little mossy slice of Paradise. He doesn't want to go home. Like in the David Lee Roth song. I bet David Lee Roth would have made an awesome raft guide.

All I have to say about this weekend in the Gorge is that:

!!!!!

Hard to describe.

It isn't class V+ remote nobody has been there in years even as a hiker sort of stuff, but the sheer variety of the entire Gorge in such an accessible and beautiful place......

!!!!!!!

Words don't work well enough, just

!!!!!!!!!
