The Gnarrows saw some high water descents this morning and I just got some pics so I thought I’d share. Cheers to the boys who fired up Lowers Oli D, Javier and Haagen Dazen!
Lower Gnarrows is… um in, I guess
Pine View 5.4 at 0800
This just in from Camp Falbo:
Pine View 5.4 at 0800! The water line’s pretty bouncy at this level, but I call the average right around 5.4. Currently 61.3, cloudy and breezy. High today should reach 73F with 30% chance for showers- just might slow this beast down a little.
So, do you go left or right of the entry rock at PV? Today, might as well just go right over!
One more event to add this week + photo of Big South bridge from Sunday at 6pm
The new Demshitz movie Dashboard Empanada will be playing at the Lyric Cinema here in Fort Collins on Sunday June 13th at 7pm. The cost will be $8 and Jared Seiler and Dave Fusilli from Team Pyranha and paddlers in the film will be there to answer questions and give some background on, as they like to say, running the brown. Should be a great time. Watch the trailer below.

Pine View 5.2 at 0930
Happy to see the “experts” the Coloardoan used last week don’t know their @ss from a hydraulic in the water! Peak Memorial Day weekend at 4, S#!T!
Currently 65.7F, and sunny with a slight breeze. Expect a high of 83F with 10% chance for T-Storms.
Lower N Fork still moving at 682 cfs. Main stem has a LOT of debris pushing down it, mostly logs and branches. As they guy I saw scouting Pine View a few minutes ago said- “looks like it’s time to think twice and put your game face on!”
============
This just in from Jeff Burley, re: the removal of a strainer on Upper Rustic yesterday:
“We had a swimmer go under a strainer near Profile Rock at a private property bridge a few miles below the White Mile. He was ok luckily, but we made the decision to get that log out of there.
By a stroke of luck, one of our paddlers truck was driving by at the exact moment we had this great idea :). Thanks to a chain and diesel that log is now gone.
Thanks to Laurie and Sue for diesel truck delivery and perfect timing.
Be safe out there.
Jeff”
