Piney Put-in and other Beta

From Lesley S. : it's a 30 min shuttle. The put in and takeout are roadside. The put in is different from what's in Kirk's book. We used a different put in yesterday. Paved and gravel roads all the way. 27 to Payne Lane in Dayton TN, then stay right to merge onto Back Valley Road, then left onto Evensville Mountain Road, then turn right onto Wash Peffrey Road. Then put on at the bridge. Coordinates 35.623070, -84.969270.  There's an obvious stout hole and undercut at Hungry Jack rapid. It's easy to scout and walk.  There are also trees down here and there, so catch eddies and look before you leap. From Papabear A. 1) the put in is easy to find Go past the Gauge and up the hill , turn left afyer the stinging creek falls access. Its a dirt road keep following it to your left always, follow your nose to the 2nd bridge , thats the put in on moccasin creek. which you can google map but you want the dirt road soneone gated the paved road.  After the con...

Ocoee release formula calculator whatamathingy

From Stephen C: "It’s flow minus 600cfs for each generator, which 98% of the time is 2 generators. 1300 is normal flow. Reads on TVA site as 2500 with 2 generators running". https://www.tva.com/environment/lake-levels/ocoee-2 From Leslie S.: If the Ocoee 2 flume is not broken - Current cfs in the Middle Ocoee is Ocoee 2 outflow minus [600 x (number of Ocoee 2 generators)]. - Predicted cfs in the Middle Ocoee is more of an art than a science because at any point in time it’s the predicted outflow minus [600 (x predicted number of Ocoee 2 generators)]. The predicted outflow may be specified as an average over a time range, which means you don’t really know what the exact outflow is going to be at any specific time. - Current cfs in the Olympic Section is Ocoee 3 outflow minus 600 x (number of Ocoee 3 generators) - Predicted cfs in the Olympic Section has the same vagueness as the predicted cfs in the Middle Ocoee, for the same reason. If the Ocoee 2 flume is broken - Current cf...
