Looks like everything is pumping! I am too out of shape to hit the Green Gorge at anything above 2800, but if it is too high, the MM looks to be running all weekend at good flows. Plus for us out of shape and less experienced people, we can always run the South Fork of the Snoqualmi if the MM is too high.

12k on the MM is 'sporty' but big and fun.
Just don't miss the take out and be ready to grab tree branches.
A group of us are doing the Nisqually on Saturday. It is a new found treat at 6k +, like a poor mans Wenatchee.
Meeting @ the hydro plant @ 11.

Right now I would say that over 5,500cfs is my limit for the MM. I need to get out and paddle more before I tackle any big water. Getting out of shape working and driving and sitting around to much.

I got to tell you, right now watching everyone else out there having fun every day and having to get up early to go to work is making me want to take a few years off and collect some funenployment too. I could use a few years off...

The South Fork of the Snoqualmi is running at a fun level, I may solo boat that if no one is going. I just need to get some time with my new paddle and after driving over 1000 miles for work this week, dont feel like driving all the way down to the Nisqually.
