Boaters. We are lucking out here in the South Platte Basin/Watershed. The rest of the state is hurting, and some in dire straights. This also means we are headed into another record breaking wildfire season! Just wanted to keep you all informed. Also, we can expect an influx of boater from other parts of the state, as we become the only water left later in the season. Have fun and stay safe out there.

Sorry for the mixed posts, and abbreviated posts this morning. I was having some technical dificulties… user error of course.

Currently 68˚F, overcast and trying to rain. Second attempt today, last one ended up with sunny skies again.

FLOWS: NOTE- Most of these values were from later in the day than the 0800 Rock Value.
