If we get some melting going and the level comes up a bit, anyone want to get in a later in the day run? Looking at the take-out around 2. Hoping for at least 1200, if lower my enthusiasm will depend on my mood, but if above I'm hoping to get a run in.
Thanks!

Looks like we're aiming at 3 because of one person havin to work tomorrow. Oscar and Kirk, how does that work for either of you? Levels didn't come up as much as hoped today, but unless anyone wants to run the Green that late, might be best bet for an afternoon run.

My personal second thoughts on this are as follows:
A) 1k bare minimum for MM, and I wouldn't be too amped about it because.....
B) Lower Green at current flows has lotsa good surf, much closer for me, more scenic, and did I mention the loads of surfing? Cave wave was excellent today, even if a tad high.
Oscar, if you want a place to demo my WS just for fun, Lower Green is the spot.
Caveat: I know most of you live farther north than I do, and you're all so much fun to be on the water with that I'll gladly do whatever, but man was it fun in there today! MM really needs 1.2k or better IMAO, but all of it beats both not paddling, and working (even if I love my job).
Blah, time for some chow.....

P-dise is super sticky and shallow, nothing I play in. The Lower Gorge at this level, however, has lots of surfing, a few sporty holes, and some marginally decent wave trains. Nothing to travel a few hours for, but wih eddy service to a number of features and in such a beautiful place (and tomorrow is supposed to be an excellent weather day), it's hard to beat, locally.
My fingers are crossed for some decent MM levels tomorrow, still.

I will be out there most likely around 12:30 for a lap if anyone wants to get on the river sooner. Hopefully I'll be off in time to catch all the folks for a 3 pm lap also.

Jason I would probably want an earlier lap than 3 pm due to afternoon obligations. 12:30 might be tough but 1 pm would work . Is that possible for you?

Hey Kirk.
How about 1:30 at tanner? I just told a buddy that I would wait for him and he says 1:30 is the earliest he can make it.

3 sounds good to me. Kiran, carpool sounds great, but my wife and a friend of hers is coming along for the ride, so I will see you there.

Kirk / jShow:
I will show up at 1:30PM too. Perhaps I would be up for two laps
Mr. Grinch / Oscar: If I dont see you on the river today, perhaps next weekend ?

At this point I'm already running behind, just a heads up Kiran. Kirk never confirmed he'd be there at 1:30. I'll be out there just maybe not right at 1:30 so you could be waiting...
If you have a trip planned already that's cool if you want to just do that. It might be 3 until I can get out there...but don't wait on me.
Sorry for the confusion.
