people keep asking this. the river is sh*t and will most likely be out into this coming week. Has anyone noticed that the graph is flat lining? even bumped up a little with the rain yesterday, it is not clearing up and is still very very fast. The visibility from Ranger run up yesterday was about 2'-3' but below that pretty chalky and terrible below Slesse.

Looks like the clay slides have opened up again. :(

The lower was ok this morning, but they have been working on the clay sides up in slesse and that really colored up the lower towards late afternoon...The upper is a green color (above allison) with maybe a foot of vis..I tried to take a pic to show the clarity so you people with the long drive can judge...but I think it's worth it, it's fast but there's some nice water.
