We go up D and park along the gravel road by that lake. We enter where the lake run-off enters Stout’s.

Please be aware that there are some sizeable downed trees just upriver from the low water bridge.

Do not park at the low water bridge- that is private property and they care.

I think the DR race is still on. Perhaps in a more civilized venue….?

For the downriver race I need 4 boaters- two at Big Drop and 2 at Cats Paw.  I will have my van at the bottom to give shuttles. Safety boaters and timers/start too will get their choice of a shot of high end Tequila or Whiskey at the party.

My kids have volunteered for timing at the finish, but would like me to get more experienced timers if I can.

Great report. I remember when we ran Cane Creek….the put in involved a very steep, chained trail and we roped boats down. Not a good place to have to exit with injuries! I also remember that Cane Creek Falls on a huge pile of rocks. So I assume you guys did the drop with enough water to avoid that?

Some footage of the rest of your run down the creek would be nice…hint, hint.

Great following your adventures.

For those of us who have river flowing in our veins, it is always sad to lose a brother.

I’m in but will have to meet you at MS as I will be late.

Oops I thought you meant Killarney Dam. Yes, silvermines dam has changed a lot, but I doubt it was run at 12 feet over.

Alex Fly and Pete Larsen ran it.

Libertyville got over a half inch of rain in last 2 hours. Sometime today the river is going tobe beefy! Have fun.

[McChuck]

We got a bunch of rain middle of the night. I suspect noon will be above zero. Have fun!

[McChuck]

So far- not enough rain for Friday Morning….but maybe afternoon???? Saturday looks like a sure bet.

Chris, let us know if you need your boat, we can deliver in AM.

OMgosh…Di and I are the clean stream for the saint and do a clean up every spring and fall. The last clean up we did we barely filled a bag (compared to the usual 3) and were wondering why people had stopped throwing the usual amt of trash. We also got several tires but had to leave one in the willows too big to move. It is now gone…..

Di worked last night, but wants to go. We’ll shoot for 1 pm.

This point has been made. I have tried and tried to discuss alternatives which works for both the cattle guy and the whitewater community and he is absolutely unwilling to compromise.

Here’s a question. If this is for his cattle…why is there only ONE fence going across.?

It is time for eco-tage.

The 1.5 inches came down too slow to do anything much.
