      Not to cut into the 8:30 action- but I am not a fan of the river at 6″.
      Some of us are planning a 1 pm trip and hopefully catch the rising crest.
      Hope it goes to 15″ again!

      Can’t get out of work, but plan to come over right after.  Be there around 6 if anyone is up for a late run.

      Nate squared, Nat and I will be down around noon and hopefully the four of us will catch folks on second runs along with Chuck and Di.

      Yeah!
      Still going up- but remember, the level reading at 72 takes at least 2 hours to get to MS.
      Yesterday I put in on the crest at 72 and rode it down, and even though I was going really slow and enjoying the solitude and nature (eagles and egrets, turtles, water snakes, etc.) I still had to wait a bit for dbl drop to go to 15″.
      So it’s 9:15 now- the 15″ that registers now, will not be at MS until 11….and if it peaks higher…..icing on the st fran cake!

      What a day! There were so many people on the river I kept thinking it was Saturday.
      Strange levels thru the day…12″ at cat’s paw, but double drop went into 15 inches, then by take-out at 5 pm it was 11 inches.
      We’ll try it again tomorrow- D at 1 pm.

      Should have posted last night, but D Bridge was ~6 inches at 8:45 last night.  Me and Eric had the entire river to ourselves.  Too bad we missed everyone, but still the best day ever!

      Whoa, I missed boating with the famous John Kuthe!  Thank you all for boating with Colleen yesterday and showing her how the pros of the MWA roll, she told me she had a great time and is looking forward to learning how to get better and better on rivers like the St. Francis.  This is why this organization is great – new people can come in and hang with some of the best.

      It was a wonderfully surreal day with the changing water levels. My wife just laughs now when I say it’s
      the last day of the paddling season.

      I’m not one of the pros, I didn’t even flip!

      Colleen looked epic! Hit every roll, no swims, and styled a number of things!
