RMA Poudre Rock Report

This heat is paying off! Pine View is 5.2 this morning. Currently 57˚F, sunny, calm and Beautiful!!

Tubing Safety Note- Now is not the Time! Even on the Filter Plant- it is NOT tubing season. Saw a few out there yesterday that get props for wearing PFDs (thank you for that), but huge negatives for 1) the rope!! and 2) the season/water level! Tubers-never tube with a rope… Period! And wait for the water to come down. OK… that’s my soapbox for the day.
