Talked with D1 (Dave Moroles, aka The Grim Reaper).
He's staying at the camp on the cheak. Said he thinks the guage reading on this site (and the BC reporting page) is "off" by a tenth. That is if the current reading says 2.8, then what is actually being reflected at the "on site" staff gauge is 2.7. He's run the chek and cal crk. Going for the Triple Crown today. Says its good to go, but big. Described the "Biggness" as somewhat comparable to upper Icicle (RV roadside and limbo) at 8k on wenatchee. That translates into some rowdy shizz.
Says there are assassins from all over the place there now... sounds like quite the international scene. He's all by his lonesome and wanted to let you NW boaters know that the goods there are in full session. Moreover, the ranks are thin from this region and he'd love some company, but be ready, cause it's heavy artillery (at least till the levels bump down some). Says he's there for the foreseeable future (two weeks?) so long as he stays uninjured. Again, he'd luv to see familiar faces, and if you go take some of that Blackstrap Demon Rum. Wish I could, but a flight to MI takes me out.
Peace
