Dierks this weekend

Just looking at the gauge and using past experience, I would guess that it will run through the weekend. It's been running at around 7.6-7.7 (900-950cfs) this week. They might make an adjustment to lower it this afternoon, guessing to around 6.5-7' (400-650) or so. Anything over 5.8ft is fun. Check the level before you drive though. Whatever the level is at midnight tonight will most likely be the level they leave it at till Monday morning.

Suppose to be around 80 degrees this weekend as well. Water will still be cold though, so splashtop/drytop needed. I have to work Saturday morning but will be down there around 3-4pm, camping out, and then all day Sunday.

Come on down to work on playboating or river running skills. Hunt me down if you need a tour of the place or need help learning or practicing skills. I have not been in my boat in a couple of months, and am not sure I have 10 day since Rendezvous back in September, so I plan on working on everything.

Is there any place to camp if the main campground is full? Primitive is fine...

plenty of places. If the numbered site fill, you can camp in the field by the rapids. (cannot camp here UNLESS the numbered sites are full) There is also a camp ground on the lake, Jefferson Ridge.

Also it looks like they have turned it down like I was guessing. We will have to see what the level ends up being.

Be aware that starting this weekend is Spring break state wide. Talked to Tom ( campground host) a couple of days ago and he didn't know what the reservation situation was like though.

Dierks was built for this level. It is a lot of fun. Come on down for some Sunday play.
