OCT Sunday, May 10 (Mother's Day) Bottom Tye or Piney
Posted: Tue May 05, 2015 8:33 am
The bottom Tye trip is water level/weather dependent as to which river(s). We need at least 150 cfs from a combination of these two gages:
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/va/nwis/uv/?site_no=02027000 - Tye
and
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/va/nwis/uv/?site_no=02027500 - Piney
right now have plenty! with 345 cfs. To do just the Piney we'll need 120 in the Piney - now 155. I don't know whether that will hold - doubt it, unless we get some rain.
In any case, it's a fun class II. We will meet at Tye River Depot on this map http://goo.gl/maps/NtlFV to set shuttle.
If we do the Piney/Tye we’ll put in at Rose Mill and take out at the race put in (8 river miles).
If only the slightly easier Tye is available – we’ll put in at Tye River Depot and take out at Ruckers Run (10 river miles).
feel free to contact me if you need further directions.

Please contact me to let me know you're going.
