Pine View 1.8 at 0700 & Update

June 30, 2012 By frenchy

Boaters and Anglers-

Larimer County Officials have opened Hwy 14 to non-residents today. PLEASE drive carefully and slower than normal!!! I can’t stress this enough- thre will still be some fire crews throughout the Canyon for the next couple of weeks. And, there will be a ton of looky lous driving the Canyon and stopping frequently to stare and take pictures. Many won’t take the time to pull over.

As for the water, the water is clear again. Here again I want you to take caution- mudslides and rock slides. It’s not a matter of “if”, but “when” they come. New rapids could develop overnight! Scout often, especially after a significant rain.

So- enjoy the Riv again. You may be saddened and amazed at what you see.

Cheers,

Update June 27

June 27, 2012 By frenchy

Howdy Boaters & Anglers. Here’s your most recent update:

They have just allowed Residents of Poudre Park back into their homes. So, the canyon is open for Residents ONLY at this time from Ted’s Place to Hewlett Gulch Bridge. No word yet on when they may open the Lower Canyon for Non-Residents, tourism, sightseeing (lots to see!) and recreation.

I was assured by folks in the know (thanks Marty) that after a hard rain the ash that will start to flow into the Riv and make our waters black pose no particular health risk.

The Major Risk I anticipate after hard downpours is rock slides and tree falls. What does this mean to you- potentially new rapids (un-announced) and new strainers. My suggestion to you is to scout the Riv wherever/whenever possible before you run- even if you just ran it the day before- and especially after a hard rain!! Provided they open the Riv to recreation while still boat-able… And certainly the first few times out for 2013. And if you find a new rapid and/or strainer- please report it on the rock and/or Mtn Buzz!

As of current conditions- raining!! Yes, Yes- Rain. It is raining for the second time today- nice steady rain. The Riv is still clear, so I don’t believe there are slides above just yet.

Currently 2.0 on Pine View. Hang in there folks. We will get out of this yet.

Lower Poudre Update

June 21, 2012 By frenchy

Boaters & Fisherman- There is a slight light at the end of the tunnel. As of NOON today, the fire officials are letting RESIDENTS of the Lower Poudre Canyon, up to Poudre Park (NOT including Falls Creek Rd, Unger Mtn Rd or Kings Canyon Rd) back into their homes. Proof of residency required.

This is one step closer to access for our beloved RIV. Again I will keep you posted. I have not run down the Rock yet to look (seems a little un-necessary) but it looks a little down here at Camp Falbo. Perhaps around 2?

I would like to give a warm and heartfelt thanks to Rock Report staff, Marty and New Belgium for their gracious gift to the Firefighters who fought tooth and nail to save homes and to preserve what of the Canyon we could!

On behalf of Poudre Rock Report followers, the Poudre Rock Report and New Belgium send out a huge thanks to the Tony and Kellie Falbo (our #1 Rock Reporter, Camp Falbo) and the PCFPD firefighters who have been doing just an unbelievable job. Read here “Group of firefighters save Poudre Park homes” how they saved Poudre Park! Thanks for all your hard work and for keeping us all informed.

Have a well deserved beer on us…
