Looks like Jefferson will be in tomorrow. Probably med-high dropping to medium later in the day.
Wednesday it will probably start out medium and drop out towards the end of the day. Anyone want to head out there? ------------- |

| Road is good. Expect it's going to be high. It was high on Saturday with a lot less rain, though it should be dropping, instead of rising. We had to bag out because of a lack of daylight. Lesson learned....get an early start for those high water adventures. Not sure what level you're after D but the "okay" line at the Putin was under on Saturday. Have fun! |

Bump. Just checked the levels, it should be good today. Anyone want to rally?
1870 cfs NF Skokomish and dropping. With little new rain in last 18 hours. http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/river/station/flowplot/flowplot.cgi?lid=SKOW1 http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/uv?cb_00060=on&cb_00065=on&cb_00045=on&format=gif_default&period=&begin_date=2012-11-13&end_date=2012-11-20&site_no=12056500 ------------- |

| Just too much of a stretch for me. More driving than I want to get into for a run that will either be too high or too low. If it was closer I'd be down to check it out. |

Jefferson will be at an excellent level tomorrow for those interested. The road is in great shape. Snow level is 500' above the put-in elevation.
Brian B and myself were lucky enough to catch it today. It was quite a bit higher then expected based off of NF Skokomish gauge. W/o Dosewallips gauge it becomes harder to nail the flow. Depending on rain fall and freeze level, I bet it runs Friday as well. Darren PS - JD, I think you were onto something with the level. Lots of rain must have fallen up there. ------------- |

Right on Darren. Glad you got on it. We'll have to track levels on the beta page so we can get a better correlation. Big Q gauge is back online and was dropping from 900 today. Bet it was a fast run today.
Thanks again for giving everyone the word! Have a great holiday with the family. Here's to lots of Jefferson laps.... JD |

Working Friday Brett. Out. Thanks for the heads up though.
I finally bought a GoPro yesterday at Costco. Set it up this morning and gave it a try. I'm uploading the footage to youtube now. When it's finished I will post the link. Gotta warn you though, it is un-edited footage and kind of long. Anyone want a GoPro Wi-Fi BacPac for $40? Let me know. It's one of these http://gopro.com/hd-hero-accessories/wi-fi-bacpac/ ------------- |

Run looks pretty clean except for a couple spot. Killer run, D. ------------- "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Howard Thurman |

| Flow was at 920 and dropping very slowly yesterday. We were almost sure that the run would be too low but turned out to be a great medium level. Definitely a superb run! Big thanks to Jeff and Russ for showing us down and Darren for the Beta. |
