comments	We found far more water than we expected when we arrived at the put-in at 2pm today. One solid inch of rain had fallen at the Crab Orchard gauge between 3am and 11am. 1.7 inches had fallen at the Wartburg rain gauge between 1am and 8am. Island was at a healthy 1.5 feet (medium to medium-high) when we put on for our first lap. Then it was 1.4 when we put on for our second lap, 1.3 for our third and 1.2 for our fourth and final lap that featured a sunset sky with vivid blues, purples and pinks. Unforgettable day! Daddy's was spiking when we left the house and when we checked on our Blackberrys an hour or so later, but the graph hadn't updated in over four hours and was still just under 500 cfs.
