 Just saw a post on FB saying the minimum for Sipsey is 4 feet.  Saving for future reference.

Gauley pin drops

  From Jo Creeks on Potomac Padders group:  GAULEY Put-ins & Take-outs Upper G putin  38°13'05.8"N 80°53'21.3"W https://goo.gl/maps/8UxrsQo8kzifwwqVA Middle putin/upper takeout Gauley River National Recreation Area https://maps.app.goo.gl/SikLKejSa4R4Hbsx7 Overflow parking, Masons branch lower lot fills up fast.  This atop the infamous ''heart attack hill '' 38°13'34.8"N 80°59'29.0"W https://goo.gl/maps/uCPjf5yEcs9Ywrnr9 I got confused about the alternate lower Putin/middle take out. This is the one right above Koonz flume. It requires you to park on the road and hike through the woods. Dropped pin https://goo.gl/maps/SuncdXaW5wd693RK9 Middle takeout/ lower putin, lot  can fill and you must park on the road.  38°12'14.4"N 81°00'54.6"W https://goo.gl/maps/6DxKdDtDQdtQwNEk9 Final takeout for the lower G, wayyyyy the hell down at Swiss.  Your almost to Kanawha falls so you might as well go throw some hucks.

Waves at Nemo and below

Nemo wave is in the main channel of nemo rapid just below the bridge. About 100 yds downstream of nemo rapid the channel from river right comes in right at the island creek confluence. Island confluence wave is in the right hand channel just as it rejoins the main channel. Bear branch wave is about a mile downstream at the bottom of the rapid where bear branch comes in. Bear branch wave is by far the best of these waves and is good from 3500-7000+. I've just been walking up the tracks when I'm done. - post by Jim Janney.

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...
