Ok here's some pics from up river. This river's going to be in less than desirable condition for some time to come because of the condition of the lakes. I went as far as Diablo to take a look and it's completely out. I didn't go up to Ross but for all I know it may be blown too.


All These Pics were taken on the afternoon of Friday 09-17-04

------------------------------------------------------------

* Rockport bridge from boat ramp - visibility literally 4" *

------------------------------------------------------------

* Skagit at Gorge Powerhouse looking toward Ladder Creek - visibility maybe 8"*

------------------------------------------------------------

* George Lake at Stetattle Creek *

------------------------------------------------------------

* Diablo Lake from Hwy20 Lookout *

------------------------------------------------------------

I'm pretty sure this is what's causing the turbid water conditions in the Lakes up here but you be the judge...
