Yeah, come on out! It should be a nice med-low flow tomorrow... this run is a real gem. It's just a bit of driving.

Great run today. The level was really good. I'd guess it was around 500 cfs on Granite and 900 on Ruby.

We put-in just below the 4+ rapid so we wouldn't have to mess with the portage at the mail ledge, which was manky as usual, also there was a log in the approach. There were 3 log issues to deal with on Granite, the first one was a riverwide log that requires a portage about mid-way through the run that came up kind of fast. The next log was duck-able at this level. It came up after a pinch in the canyon walls and a short pool. The last portage is at 2 riverwide jams near the end of Granite.

Ruby was almost totally clean except for one riverwide log near the end of the run that was an easy boof over.
