Just having heard from Group Three's Scott "Not So Flash" Gordon (so named for his missing his air flight to E-14 by arriving at SFO too late to have his oversized bag checked—he and his bag actually arrived two days later!!), "NSF" inquired yesterday about the status of our Log O Meter—our Creekside visual barometer of just how big the flow is. In reply, I asked Peanut, our caretaker and E-17 kitchen master, to take a gander down Rock Creek and to photo this otherwise serene shot of trees that were laid sidewise along one of the Creek's side channels during the unusually high 2011 runoff (one of the years we had to bus over the Continental Divide to find quieter waters to fish), and attached is her wonderful work product.
The Log O Meter has been a wonderful barometer for us, for as the water level touches the bottom of the cross log it is flowing right at 2,000 cubic feet per second. Yesterday's readings were over 3,000 cfs and, by comparison, in 2011 the water flow was OVER the cross beam!
Bravo, NSF, for getting the Log O Meter back on our radar screen—we will now provide weekly pics of this now Extravaganza historical monument!!
