Pineview – 3.9 @ 7:00pm on 6/12

There still is a gray raft wrapped around the right pylon on the bridge above Cardiac. It’s deflated so it’s hard to see but it is there.

Pineview 3.75ft @ 5:45pm, 6/11/07

We saw no remnants of the raft pinned in Cardiac today, so I’m guessing it’s been retrieved? We did, however, find a couple good waves to surf on the Poudre Park/Bridges section. River’s up and rising as we speak, with predictions well into the 4ft mark over the next couple days. Now’s the time to [...]

Upper North Fork of the Poudre: Low [6/1/07]

Upper North Fork of the Poudre was at a Low level today. It was a great float trip; very scenic, but bring the fishing rods… Note: All 4 (or was it 5?) of the barbwire fences were easily navigable.  There are at least 2 log portages in the top section, above the start of the [...]
