Hey Mike----Kenduskeag still a few weeks away as the ice is 'finally' almost gone from the lakes up here in Nova Scotia (Gonzoland). Looking forward to any updates on water levels---any snow in the woods still to melt or will the river be running away into the Penobscot, hoping for some race week rain?
As always, look forward to what will be our 16th consecutive year of participating----including support crooo, looks like at least 10-12 will be making the annual trip 'SOUTH.'
Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing the Gonzos again!
We still do have some snow to burn off (and we might get more this weekend) but it's hard to say how the levels will be.
I've posted a thing about this just now, there's a water gauge you can bookmark and check on to see the daily changes taking place at Six Mile Falls!
Here's the link to the water gauge (USGS):
