I was wondering if you had a trip planned. The I-81 corridor is expecting two inches or more of rain over the next couple of days.

(Have a great trip, thanks for taking the hit for the team again!)

Can't swing the Tellico. What I CAN do is something in Virginia -- Like Goshen Pass for instance -- on Thursday. I have to meet our architect sometime that day, but if there's water available I'll plan my day around that.

Turbo, its the North River below Staunton Dam
http://americanwhitewater.org/content/R ... inGadget21 we’re putting in at the dam and taking out at the forest boundary just west of Stokesville. Its about 4 ½ miles which are continuous class III but since there is some wood and its fairly constant calling it III+ it drops about 250-300ft in those 4 ½ miles. Not 100% if it will run or not but with the amount of rain its looking hopeful
