This maybe a great fallback option if levels on some other local rivers continue there spaceship rocket launch to the outer limits of the universe!

since the river is managed, it is unlikely the flow will go much higher than it's current flow

If it keeps raining, they will increase the flow depending on how low the resevoir is....and they will do it on the weekends if needed.  The Upper is a fun rollercoaster at 5k most definitely.

Chip,
 
I'm going to bow out tomorrow.  I'm either going to run the Lower Green or the Wenatchee.  You all have fun!!

I'd like to run something sane...lower green, S Fk Sno, lower N Fk Sky.  Pilchuck Creek is good after big rains but it may be too high.
