oh crap - might back out...

[merry prankster]

Cap'n -- I am not sure about the rise, probably surge in power production or decrease in diversion through the tunnel (my guess is the later with last weeks rain.). However, the NPS requested flow to drop 550 (in the canyon) on the 23rd of the month. They'll begin ramiping down on the 21st at 4 PM dropping 100 cfs every 4 hours from until the target flow is reached. They begin ramping back up on the 24th.

what is the highest it has been run?

[MikeG]

Some friends and I ran it at 2100. It was very impressive. We ended up portaging more than normal so it became a bit epic. When all was said and done, we didn't run much of the class V. We couldn't even tell where the guide rock in the falls was. To quote the ranger "I can't prohibit you from going in there but I'm telling you not to go in there." A crew who was more familiar with the run and/or more gutsy could probably run all of the normal stuff.
