Trip Report

ReporterByron Ellis

S. Br. Patapsco from Gaither Rd. to Henryton Rd. today with Tony during rain with snow melt, it was high and brown. Hollofield 2,130 cfs and 4.27, Cedarhurst 1,120 cfs, Unity 546 cfs. Least that's what it said when we got back, Gauges were 1/2 lower early morning before leaving home. No strainers to portage. A lot of play was washed out. 4-5 good rapids with 2/3 moves to miss holes, with no terminal holes. Intermediate run. Most of the rocks you would normally see around Sykesville were submerged.
