Hey all, we may have seen our peak here in early May but a rain or snow event could easily give us a new peak in June. More importantly, each guess helps support Save The Poudre – an NPO that I am on the Board of Directors for. My main initiative is getting a play park built in Fort Collins and we have the city promising 2-4 years for completion as of today, whereas when I joined the board the project was shelved completely. Help protect and restore the Poudre downtown river corridor and beyond. Take a guess at the June rise contest or just make a donation.

The link to the contest entry page is: http://www.savethepoudre.org/june-rise-contest.html

We are extending the contest one week and all entries must be in by midnight on June 7th.

Planned releases out of Long Draw reservoir and Chambers Lake later today should increase flows in the Big South and the main stem of the Poudre by the weekend, and on through the middle of next week. See related post on Mountainbuzz for details:
