[RitcheyRch]

Been thinking about heading out to McIntyre but worried about the water level.

I think the water level should be fine.

Me and about 50-60 acquaintances will be at mcintyre for our annual river tubing extravaganza. They inflate tons of inner tubes and floating islands and make their way from mcintyre down to where we normally camp down at oxbow/cibola flats.
I will be out there with my jet boat, a 1977 Challenger (purple and yellow). It's a pretty good trip. The weather should be perfect. If you see me or a drunken armada of sun burnt alcoholics floating down the river be sure to say hello...

[kronikenergy]

If I remember correctly anything over 9k is golden for a jet boat from blythe to palo verde. So I think we're ok
EDIT: the columns didn't line up after i cut and pasted the info but parker is gonna dump out an average of 9100...

Lower Colorado River Operations Schedule
Releases from Davis and Parker dams will vary from about 4,000 cubic feet per second
(cfs) to 24,000 cfs during a 24-hour period. River levels will vary during the 24-hour
periods with the higher levels coinciding with periods of peak hydroelectric power
generation. Levels below the dams are usually highest during the afternoon and early
evening. Average daily releases may vary in response to changing conditions.
Average daily releases and midnight lake elevations for the week, as well as
anticipated averages for the following 2 weeks, are scheduled as follows:

create natural hazards such as moving sandbars, gravel bars, unstable
riverbanks, floating or submerged debris, or other unfamiliar obstacles.
Caution should be exercised while using the river between Davis Dam and the
Mexican Border at San Luis, Arizona.
