Default Lower Slippery Rock Creek, PA - Saturday, July 19

The level is at a fairly low 350 cfs according to the link in from the American Whitewater site:

http://www.americanwhitewater.org/co.../id/2504/#main

Hit the 'Flow' tab to see the gauge link. I can't get the actual USGS page for that gauge (or any other USGS gauges for that matter) to work right now. But if its 350 that's a nice low, beginners type level.

There is a chance of rain tonight. If it rains a ton and the gauge starts back up then I'm probably not going to paddle the Slip. Depending on what happens then I might opt for East Sandy Creek instead.

But I'm thinking about getting in a run Saturday afternoon, say 2:00 ish. If I go by myself I have to either hike the creekside trail for the shuttle, or ride my bike back up those hills. So another paddler for shuttle would be pretty nice.

The best idea would probably be to meet at the Harris bridge on Mountville road. We could leave a vehicle there and drive back up to Eckert Bridge and put in there (not sure of the status of the road and bridge due to construction but we shall overcome).

If anyone is interested post up here so I know if I need to plan for that hike. I am very familiar with the run, though I haven't been there this year yet.
