There is usually an increase in levels big enough to make a fall run. I'd be very interested, especially if its before Gauley (see next post)

Then get a creek boat and let's go!

Although it is very low right now, 2.37 m on the gauge... This means about 17 m^3/s. That would be bony in many places... Not worth hiking 4 km for it!

I was a summer student there in '86.  I actually gave tours to anyone who was lost enough to have found us.

The Algonquin Radio Observatory has been repaired and is going to be used again for research, examining pulsars using VLBI, or Very Long Baseline Interferometry: The signals from two such antennas, one in Canada and another in Europe, can be combined to form a signal comparable to an antenna the size of the distance between the two dishes, i.e. 1000 km versus 50 m.

For us this means the possibility of a tour of the facilities, and improved roads too, as we use the acess roads to go to our put-in.
