MF of the Salmon running very high right now, my trip might get cancelled.

Water flows & levels on the MF of the Salmon are running very high.  I leave in 5 days and put in on the 3rd of July.  The current trip only took 4 of 12 boaters who scheduled for the trip due to the high water. The entire 1st 25 miles are running as non-stop class IVs according to a guide report.  I've invested so much cash, this could so suck.

 

And Yes I've got trip insurance, but that doesn't change the suck quotent if this gets modified or cancelled.

I've planned my whole summer aorudn this one trip.  When you liv ein Chicago, you can't just run out for a quick paddle on the weekends, well the flat water guys can, but that bores me.  So to have this come down to watching the water guage, maybe rafting part then kayaing the rest is driving me nuts.  On one hand I can't wait for it to get here and on the oterh every day that passes the river drops closer to acceptable.  I feel really bad for the 8 paddlers who got left off of this weeks trip.

Bummer.  It's a weird year for water in the west.  I was planning on goin whitewater paddling Saturday, but went surf kayaking instead.  i would have had to drive way too far to get ot a river that wasn't TOO high.  Weird for anyyear, especially in June!
