I've been using this link to check water level below Bonneville. (Depth Of Gauge) http://www.nwd-wc.usace.army.mil/ftppub/water_quality/bon.txt Apparently, that's not a great indicator of water depth. Todays reading is about the same as yesterday's, but the gauge at Camas is about 4 -5 feet deeper.

I put two more anchors on the slider but I couldn't even get to the kicker safely unless I wanted to be picked up on the Washington side. There were two more kiters stuck in the whirl-pool of death just downwind of the kicker. _________________ The Slider Project: http://www.sliderproject.com/ Join the CGKA! Membership is only $10!

Yeah, that place kinda sucks...you out into deeper water-- with no wind it can really be a pain in the ass. 63rd Airbourne Since 16 Aug 2007 16 Posts Hood River   Mon May 19, 2008 11:16 pm     Thanks Forrest for checking on those things. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6053 Posts P-Town / W-Salmon Site Lackey CGKA Member Tue May 20, 2008 6:11 am     I reckon this warm rain today is going to make the river levels go high real fast.

I couldn't swim out of it last night, had to get a help from a local fisherman. bulae99 Since 12 Jul 2006 1181 Posts Pasa Instructor CGKA Member Tue May 20, 2008 10:05 am    Here is the Columbia River Stream Flow Report http://waterdata.usgs.gov/or/nwis/current/?type=flow&group_key=basin_cd&search_site_no_station_nm=columbia%20river Good place to get the data _________________ http://www.degree33.com/surfboards/ http://www.epickites.com/home.php        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You cannot attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
