   This is the White Salmon overnighter discussion thread. Please post any questions below. Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the White Salmon overnighter | Trip Page Running the Farmlands on Saturday. Maybe Truss on Sunday but more likely something else on the way back to Seattle (Wind, Lewis/cowlitz drainage?).

   right around 830cfs.  Looks like it's going up a little with the rain.  Ran it last weekend at the same flow and it was good to go.  The doldrums had enough water.  Offramp was a little scrapy on the last move, but other than that all's well.

   The stick gauge is a little different in the winter in the sense that no water is being used for irrigation, so most of the water is coming from up top to begin with.  I believe the stick was reading at 2.25', which normally would be to low for the Farmlands.  Yes, that is high enough for the Truss.

   I've tried to figure the gauge out, but it's below a dam and lord knows the dam guys aren't as reliable as mother nature
