The lowers is a wide river, and quite different from anything else I've paddled (except for the Kennebec) I ran the first half at under 2000 and it was a surfing paradise, tons of features across a wide river. There was one part that had some bigger than normal waves but nothing technical. I'm not sure about what came downstream other than the funnel. If it's more of the same we would be fine. I'll probably portage the funnel.
Sat morning the level is at 2700 and holding. It still might be on the high side Sunday unless they adjust the dam.
I think we should give it a try, but don't let Paul peer pressure you into running the funnel if you don't wanna.
