The weather was TERRIBLE this weekend, it was crowded and it was totally stressful. See picture below....

Oh, sorry. THIS weekend was mid 90s, very little traffic, and totally relaxing.

When you face adverse conditions like we did this weekend, the survival instinct kicks in. My right arm is sore from lifting aluminum containers, and I used all my training and experience to get back to the ramp as the sun was setting Saturday night. It was a living hell as the temperature plummeted to 75 degrees, but a constant intake of alcohol (for medicinal purposes only) helped me survive.

Hopefully you go through the hell we did last weekend :D The flows are up, and the river is full bore by 1pm. Water's still a little cool, but it doesn't matter. FYI, if you're in the BHC area, the lakelice are already out in force around Avi, Big Bend and Veteran's Memorial. Nothing a little diverter can't handle, though. Hypothetically speaking, of course.:D
