Tomorrow might work... But here's an idea.

Let the sun melt Mulberry a bit and go paddle Sunday in the snow. It'll be a bit warmer and possibly a bit higher.

If I went tomorrow, I'd be looking at 10am put in, maybe at Big Eddy, take out at Cemetary. If water leverls were half a foot higher, we could go to High Bank.

I would want to allow for a good break and definitely plan well.

An incentive for waiting is the plan that conflicts with paddling long tomorrow. I'm throwing a birthday party at my house and, given that I'm just down the hill from you, y'all should come hang out.

I've got a 5gallon keg of high quality smoked english ale homebrew--and loads of people are cancelling.

And everyone else who wants to come on by--there will be plently of food, drink and (some) folks hanging out by the fire.

I'm not excited by the possibility of it raining on us on Sunday. I think I'd much rather go tomorrow...

Let me check on the afternoon and I'll post up at 8am.

I would need to be off the river by 330 or 4 if that would work.

I've talked to some folks and they're coming in early due to the weather.

100% I'm good for tomorrow. Wish I could go today too. The sun is already bright.

Turner Bend store says roads aren't passable. Hughes and I are going to look at the weather tomorrow and see if the roads clear up some.

Thanks,

Just saw that... I think it's GOT to be going up. We've definitely had a lot of melt with this sun here near campus.
