Poudre Rock Report

[soylent green]

Pineview was at 1.0 tuesday night at 5pm. I opted to turn around and go home because the river was so low and the lightning was so close. Saw a few people running bridges and filter plant. Filter plant actually looked a little less boney.

I was on Bridges last night, it's a wee bit rocky but, at this stage, I'll take what ever I can get...

Did bridges last night, bumpy of course, fun though. Camped out there last night too and it poured all night, morning and didn't look like it was gonna let up much either. Rock was at 1.5ft on our way out.

To clarify the rafting company post. The permits become good on the 15th but that doesn't mean they will release anything. Rafting holds no sway on the poudre flows. The best that rafting gets is a heads up on what the release schedule might be like. All of the water decisions are based on farming needs and wants.

As of 3PM Wed 5/11 the rock was 1.8.

Just a tad over 2ft as of 10am today.

Will start sending the daily Rock Report email next week, just as soon as I can get my hands on a reliable mail server.

Word, how do we get on the email list? Also, just curious, how accurate are the rock reports compared to the actual sacred rock itself.

The rock reports are dead-on accurate, since they are visual readings by human beings of the sacret rock itself. An example of what you will get in your rock report email is: "Pine View rock was just a tad over 2ft as of 10am today; Sportsman's was ... at ..., Big South gauge was .. at .... Signed, ...". Hope this helps. Over.

River's over 2 feet, paddled from mish to BTO today. Narrows are getting fun. The gauge is pointless just drive the 15 minutes to pinic rock and you can figure out where the river is at.
