Saluda River - Canceled

02/07/2010 - 5:00pm

Due to high water, 10,000 cfs on Friday with expected rising levels by Sunday, this trip is canceled. I went to check landings today and level is in the red mark on posts and running very fast. Land near landings are flooded. No way to paddle up to dam in these conditions. I do not have enough experienced paddlers confirmed to risk a trip with novice paddlers.
