WT take out should be open as far as I know.
11:00 sounds good.  It will be NO problem to be back in town by 6:00.
Observations made at McCoy's will tell us all we need in order to decide which route to run.
I agree, that the level is probably in the 3 range.  At this time of year gates get opened, and it's anybody's guess as to what will happen.  Kind of rooting for 6, 8, or 14.

I vote for 11 am at WT take out, but is it even open? Then I think we should look at the gauge before we decide what we are doing...no?

I just got back from the Lorne.

Wow!  Garb is almost completely gone.  Pushbutton is gone and no Buseater yet (just a little foam).  I met some WT people, they said that Babyface was gone but that Corner wave was OK.  They mentioned that they saw people working at the dam in Quebec.  I don't know if they had any impact but the level is definitely up from last Saturday.

I'm guessing the best thing to do is run the river either Middle or Main

(No, I don't know what the level was.  Perhaps between 0 and 2)

It would have to have been MUCH higher than 2 for all those features to disapear.

Sounds more like 3+

This sounds good, but Sonya and I also have pool sessions that night so we might just play eat lunch then go home (depending on how long we play) or run the river. I would appreciate if we could do a earlier maybe around 10:30?

Decent chance that I'm in as well.  It looks like there are enough of us that if we were parking and playing, it would be fairly easy to set shuttle and run as well.

I could bring a stove, and we could do a hot lunch at the Lorne before continuing down the remainder of the main.

So me and Sonya would like to join in, but we would like to do a easy park and play if that is ok with you guys.
