Quality boating to be had up there!

Beware… Carnito Canyon on JW has changed big time. The flake has rolled to the right and the rock in the next drop flushed out and have deposited all over the rest of the rapid. The eddy at the top is the same, but that’s about it.

Roll on Big South…

Big South gauge was buried, Spencer was a super stomping 3.5 at 11am (higher by the hour), JW was also stomping, and Little south was at a medium level.

There was some swimming involved in JW (oops) and one destroyed boat (not mine) that didn’t have float bags. The boat traveled unaccompanied through Joe Wright and Spencer, including Poudre Falls. I did leave a black straight shaft Werner somewhere up there.

We put on at 6:15… probably close to the daily peak… and ran it in under 2 hours… but if the wheels fall off the wagon in there it can take a lot longer… difficult river-side terrain and a gnarly walk out should it come to that… I’ve been with groups that have taken 5 hours, other’s have overnighted…

Only one real wood issue… the tree/rock sieve 3/4 down the bigger rapid near the end is horrible with lots of water pushing left into it. Stay right!

Joe Wright – still not in yet… but getting closer.

Spencer Heights – med-high and starting to juice… run #1 was at 2.7, run #2 at 3.0 on the new gauge… probably much higher by the time we got back to town… very warm up there.

Little South – looks to be a medium flow now… over the first rock, but not splashing onto the second yet. The wooden gauge is backed up with main branch water.

Lots of wood lurking at the water’s edge all over the Canyon. There is another stick in the Goal Posts on Spencer, and another channel wide log in Cyclotron. There’s some big wood across the left `1/3 of the river just below Mountain Park in Lower Rustic. And I’m sure things will change again tonight!

Lots of grinning folks up the Canyon today…

Some recent press… Rock Report featured in the Coloradoan… and good to hear from the Larimer County Sheriff.
