HAPPY PEAK WEEK!

It’s bouncy at the line, some surge to 4.8, but mostly at 4.75. Had a great Lower Rustic Run yesterday! Which brings me to a Wood Warning- “Most” of the run from Dadd’s Gulch to Century Park was clear and easily runnable. There is one huge log on the islands immediately below 99. It occludes 3/4 of the right channel on the right side of the channel. We did manage to sneak by it to the left in our 14″ Cool Hand Luke. So, either take one of the left channels just below 99, or set yourself up to move far left in the right channel. Knowing it’s there sets yourself up for success!

Currently 58˚F, overcast and calm.
