How are the creek crossings? or "river" crossings...safe or not...going up friday night through saturday

It's currently at 400 cfs. Sounds a little fast to me.:D

I was just up by Meadow Lake on Sun breakin in the new quads. Actually ran into a couple snow drifts. Not much, but figured I'ld mention it to kinda give an idea that there's still some winter runoff flowing.

hey zesty. toyfamily senior and my self are going in fri after work call jim and hook up with us.

WARNING + Note + Expect 400 cfs until Fri Jun 14

marginally do-able



Robert Payne spoke with the Fordyce dam keeper in person at the put-in on Saturday. At the time, the combined spill plus release was 593 cfs on the gauge

NO EFFIN WAY!

What time are you going in. The wife and I are planning on running Fordyce this weekend and then hitting the Rubicon backwards, but if the water is flowing heavily then I don't know if I want to run Fordyce alone. We are planning on being up there around 8pm on Friday.
Joe

we will be there around 8.00 also just going in for some r&r. were only planning on going down to the first crossing on sat then play around on the rocks. red 4runner & black 4runner your welcome to hang out also. oh yea i don't like to swim. Rick

Rick,, we should catch up with you Sat. morning,, we plan on leaving Weimar around 8:30 am and should be down at the 1st crossing at Eagle Lakes exit around 11am,,

see ya up there

Hey Rick

So... do you know what the flow is? Are you guys just going to hang out by the first crossing? I was hoping to make it all the way through, but if the water is too high I think I might hang for awhile then hit the 'Con.
Joe

joep the water flow is around 400cfs which would be insane to try.were going to play around no hurrys for us.

yeah I just checked and this is what the web site says:

I don't think I will be doing that.
Joe

are you still going to be there tonight were leaving newcastle at 7pm

We are probably going to hit the con instead. I don't know yet. Where are you going to camp? I will be in a black CJ7 on 37's. If we make it up there then I will keep an eye out.
Joe

Just called the flow rate phone........293:flipoff2:

This is the first river crossing at approximately 470cfs

I went a week ago in my cruiser all the way to meadow lake, there was water over the hood and FLOWINF. No snorkel, and i was a bit scared.

There were othere tracks All the way to the top.


What is really important is that someont brings a BIG chain saw there are BIG trees down, like 3 feet in diamiter, and the bypasses that have been created are MAKING A MESS OF THE SOFT GROUND. If we can organize a weekend clean up i will help but i have no chain saw.

Have fun up there.
