Pretty heavy rains in the northeast, especially in CT. The guage in my backyard filled to 4 inches and overflowed as did my joy. But river levels have been disappointing so far.
Went out yesterday to Satan's Kingdom section of Farmington. A very short paddle, but it was very scratchy at about 3.8 feet on the guage posted on Americanwater.org.
There were three sections of scratchy class II- rapids. And seemingly long sections of flatwater (exarcebated by the rocks). Never again Satan's Kingdom. Presented with this amount of water, paddling community will disappear.
But then there are other rivers close by Natchaug (couldn't find anyone to lead me down here), Bull's Bridge (still low), Tariffville (am I tired of running this section), and a few others, and I had to chose Satan's Kingdom, a wasted evening.
