Thanks Ted, that's all we could ask for.

The environmentalist in me hates to see you "spill" 1200 extra CFS of water when a generator is out of service, that is just wasted energy and more coal to be burned. Totally justifiable for the local economy when it brings a summer crowd to the area, but harder to justify in the winter for a half dozen boaters. All that said, I would certainly not boycott your release if it happened on a warm winter day!

I'd gladly participate in a winter release, too!

Alright folks, now's a good time to try this! High temps in the 60's with plenty of sunshine! I'll be at the ledge about 1pm until ice cream headache overcomes me (probably not too long!). USGS says water temp is about 43 degrees. Bring a skull cap and ear plugs if you got 'em and try some winter surfing!

Just me and Mitch. It was fun and plenty warm! Level was kind of high so the cartwheel hole was pretty flushy but still a fun afternoon. I thought more folks might have had the holiday and would have come out!
