1870 cfs is pushy for this narrow river. The Middle Middle Snow is a class III with one class IV drop. My reading is that at 1800cfs some of the class III are into the class III+ range. There are monster holes!
Our group consisted of Doug (our guide and amazing kayaker), the usual mugs, Katheryn, Shannon and Paula as well as Debra, Arnest and Dave.
“Hey Shannon, have you seen the flow levels?” My noisy van makes it hard to hear her say “5000 and rising”. “Think we’ll still put in at the bridge?” Some garbled words and “I’ll see you there”.
Fifteen minutes later I’m at the Big Eddy parking lot and chatting with Mike, the leader of the trip on the Big Eddy. Normally, the Big Eddy is a class II river with one II+ drop called Fishermens. Last time we were down we noted a tree on river left and the the last drop into the take out pool had totally changed. This time was going to be a bit different, a bit more pushy, 2000cfs higher then the March run.
