Thansgiving weekend paddling

Looking at getting out either Friday or Sunday. With rain in the forcast for Wed, Friday should be the day with more interesting options so I'm leaning towards Friday.

Will have to keep an eye on levels once we get the rain, but tenatively looking at the Lower Millers.

Anyone interested?

OK, so I'm definitely paddling somewhere on Friday, just haven't nailed down exactly where yet. Pork Barrel looks to be the first choice, with Knightville and Lower Millers as back-up plans. Millers is at 4.23 and still rising as of 8pm Wed.

I'll post back tomorrow evening when we should know if Pork will be runnable or not.

You in Paul? You'd really like Pork Barrel. No flats, continuous II/III (depending on the level) and absolutely gorgeous scenery.

Where is it (pork Barrel) how long a run? - may not be able to sacrifice the whole day - family staying over up until Sunday. Didn't get as much rain as predicted.

Turkey follow by Pork - sounds good. I've been wanting to run Pork Barrel for a while.

Well we're getting a lot of rain tomorrow. I'm hearing 1-2 inches, maybe 3 inches in some isolated areas. And the Lower Millers isn't too far away from being runnable right now. I doubt it will get huge, but I think there is a good chance of it being runnable.

From what some guys told me, 3.7 is probably the least runnable and that would be a bump and scratch your way down. We did it at about 4.8. I did 4.3 before, below 4 I think it would be just riffles.
