Lee Creek Gauge...

appears to be offline. Assuming it got irreparably damaged or swept away, this might be the time to request that they move it upstream.

That would be awesome to move it upstream

We are headed out there right now, Safety just depends on how good of a paddler you are, I bet flows are optimal or low by thursday.
It could be worse, it could stop raining

Spanke's right. Lots of people run it high. If you have the capability it's great fun, if not, you could have a real bad day.

They had some rain up there this evening, so it should go back up. I'm thinking it will be ~10' tomorrow, but that is just an educated guess. At that level, if you kayak and don't have a solid roll you should stay away. Or at least have a strong crew that can get you and your boat out of trouble in case of a swim.

Just got back from Lee, I doubt it makes it until thursday. You can get some low water runs on it tomorrow though. Great surf today

Spank — what was the level like, I know we don't have a reliable gauge correlation - but where was it in relation to the put in steps? I was considering trying to head out there after work tonight.

They got some rain last night on Fall Creek, so Lee should be at a decent level today.

sweet. I think It'll be after 5 before I can get there, but I'm hoping for an evening run - if anyone else is up for it

In relation to that long under cut rock at the end of the run on river left, the water was about ten inches below it.The play was great, I've got two tests today then I'll be back out there if it got hit again. I've got to talk to my weather man though

Anyone know how this gauge (still working) correlates to the other Short Cr. gauge? http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ar/nwis/uv/?s ... 0065,00060" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

May head that way too, but I wouldn't be able to be there until about 6:45.
