French Creek, May 23

EAR · 05-17-2010, 07:58 PM

We will be doing beautiful French Creek this Sunday, May 23rd. We will be doing the 11 mile stretch between Utica and Franklin.
Meet at the boat launch in Franklin at 10am. I'll have my trailer and maybe one other will be there and we will try to take as few cars as possible up to Utica. Directions from your house can be gotten on our map page. briefly; I80 east to the route 8 exit toward Franklin. In town follow route 322 east until you come to Elk St ( well marked, sign, light), turn right and go to launch.
Will update weather and water condition later in the week.

This has been a totally bizzar year. Can not remember a year of extremes like this in my fifty years. Hoping for an improving forcast.

Weather looks OK for Sunday. 30% chance of rain so bring some raingear just in case. The gage height is 4ft right now and I hope it stays betweeen 3 and 4 for the run.
Don't forget to give me a call or e-mail by Saturday early if you are going.
