Looking at the gauges...our three fine West Texas rivers have all caught some rain.

The Rio Grande is running BIG TIME. :shock: :shock:

Once it settles a raft trip looks doable.

The Pecos still could use some rain but...

The Devils is running Primo flow. 577cfs at Bakers, over 1000 at Pafford

You could cover some serious water on the Devils below Dolan Falls at that flow--Three Tier and Indian Creek rapids....I'm salivating running those at good flows like that 8)


If I could only get off work :cry: :cry: :evil:

Wait until the following weekend, there may be more excitement running those rivers than the best white water guys could stand.
