Brad,

Here is my beta from the Upper T, in case you can use any of it on its SK

page, especially with gauge levels. I'm not sure there's been a decent

correlation between what amount of water the run needs in relation to the

USGS reading. I'd call 4:30 yesterday a somewhat decent minimum for the run,

which registered around 240 cfs on the online gauge, though it could

definitely use more water to fill in a few more of the undercuts and sieves

and open up some cleaner lines. I thought at the time it was around 200 cfs

or so.

The gauge is a bit downstream:

I wasn't expecting it to be running yesterday, but it was, albeit on the low

side. The Coleman had a little bit of water, but it was still too low and

definitely not very clean.
