I'm planning to run Browns Wednesday with what's looking like a fair size crew of locals. Plans haven't really been set yet, but you are more than welcome to join.
I will be coming over from the Roaring Fork Valley to paddle tomorrow. Trying to get a couple people to go. Would like to paddle numbers or Browns. What time is everyone meeting and where?
Just wanted to let everyone know that it is currently 24 deg here in BV, it was 14 up around the numbers when I went past Clear Creek at day break.. The river is higher but is a ice flow with chunks of slurpee mixed in for good measure.
Tomorrow should be warmer and just wanted to let everyone know that today looks to be real cold out there.
After today's wind tomorrow will feel toasty if it calms down. I didn't see any ice in the water at Stone Bridge mid day today. Thinking 1030-11 at Hecla.
Hitching out of Hecla will be damn near impossible if you don't see another boater. However, if you go down to the highway 291 bridge just below Stone Bridge you would have an easier time.
If you are going to Stone bridge, yes you will see a concrete bridge. The takeout is about 100 yards past it on the right. If you are taking out at Hecla, you will see the concrete ramp, you can't miss it.
I have to say that today was pretty damn nice. Not too cold and the water and company were awesome. Considering this might have been a once in a lifetime opportunity, I'm glad I paddled today.
