Guys,
Just to let you know. The level on the Headworks run is pretty low. I have not done it this low so it might be pretty boney. You should definitely put in at the whirlpool area since there might not be enough water for the regular put-in. They pull between 50 and 100 cfs out of the river right away and sends it through the pipe to the water treatment plant. So, the river levels is likely closer to the Palmer gauge.
I just wanted to let you know. If you decide to go, please post something on PP to let everyone know that it was still runnable.
Butch

Flaming Geyser as the take out would be the lower gorge. Flaming Geyser as the put in would be the yo yo stretch. ------------- The fat lady has not sang. |
