This gauge on the old bridge at the Mulberry putin has been used for decades. The levels mentioned in the description for this run correlate to this gauge.

me and a few of my buddies were casually dancing to some low-playing modest mouse at the takeout a few weeks ago.. my cousin noticed a man in complete camo, filming us.. 8 feet away.. when politley asked what he was doing, he would not reply. to make a long story short he finally cut off his camera, called us juvanile asshole lickers, and that the authorities would see what we were doing.. he used the example, 'would you want your daughters and wives to be video taped by your neighbors?' (that made no sense to me..) anyway the man's elevator doesnt quite go to the top floor judinging by his example.. haha. so be careful.. by the way the water is coming up and should be great tomorrow..as it always is.. even with crazy ass mountain people..
As a note, I'm the guy in the picture at the top of Lunchstop. The level says 1.5', but that is from the bridge gauge at the put in. To estimate the bridge gauge reading subtract 3.3' from the internet gauge stage reading.

All ye Mulberry Fork boaters take note. Although the water is about gone, a few people go up in the afternoon to mess around. I was one of them. Last week I was doing a towel change at dusk and our neighbor had a few choice words for me. Two days later when I went back I had a 'little' trouble with my truck upon leaving the river. The problem turned out to be a half gallon of sand, rocks, twigs, leaves, and a little water to soup things up in my gas tank!!!
Please for your own sake use the changing room. Also do not drink at the take-out, smoke a bowl or have words with McCrary. I must point out after McCrary cursed me I simply left. I did not respond in any way as I did not want to provoke him. ;-O A lot of good that did me.
Please get the word out to be careful at the takeout.
The second wave at the take out at around 8000 cfs. The first wave was still washed out at this level. Nice surfing.
