We retrieved a kayak paddle in the drink yesterday. It had no name nor phone number on it. If you have lost one, or know someone who has, describe it to me here and it will be returned to you.

PSA message of the day… Put your name and phone number on your gear. As good as we think we are, well. Just write your name or at least a phone number on your gear, if you want to see it again.

On another note, we had the person responsible for the installation and maintenance of the Rustic and Hewlett flow gages and the turbidity meter at Manner’s bridge on our boat yesterday! That was pretty fantastic and a great float. Thank you Chris for giving us so much data every day! Appreciate you!

Currently 68˚F, mostly sunny and calm.

This will be the Last (FULL) Weekly Report, as all of the SNOTEL sites are either not reporting, or reporting 0″ of snow. Shopping up to be a great weekend. They have been getting busy up here, so give yourself some time (and space), expect out of towners to drive slow and not use slow vehicle pullouts and don’t let that get in your way of a good time. Cheers!!

Currently 72˚F, sunny and calm.
