Ball Mt. Brook

Sunday September 19th, 2004
Predominantly: int-adv WW
Water Level: low boatable
Author: Jim Zamecnik
Painted Gauge (ft): 7+ blocks

A day late, a few hundred cfs short.....well into the lower range of the "low boatable" category. Still a some fun, gnarly drops in there where the river chokes down and steepens, but many boney dues must be paid getting there.

Gauge: the entire rt.30 bridge abutment was exposed right down to the riverbed on the downstream side. (you count the blocks down from the bridge to the waterline; 6.5 is typically considered minimum. This was more like 7+)
