Looks like Joe screamed out "The Volcanoe is erupting! Everyone run for your lives!" while fishing the Nasty yesterday. Looks like his plan worked!

Check out the River Levels. None of the stations I checked noticed a difference in the water level.

Ok, did some people get some bad meth or crack down South yesterday? Was there a bad group trip? What's that all about? I don't get it.

I wonder if there were any nets in the river?????? It would be nice to see just how many nets a nice Doug Fir could take out. Andy

Hey Parker, keep this quiet - you know how frustrated Fly has been about the Nisquallys regulating the river flow intermintently higher to bring in fresh fish for netting days only. Well, rumor has it that Fly took his heavy duty ice pick and hiked up to those 2 Rainier glaciers and dug down to release all the pent up melted ice water from underneath so the river would swell up enough that they would have to release some water on non netting days too, so the sporties could fish on some fresh fish with current in the river also. I like that!

Yeah, I thought that was it, but wasn't going to publically say so.

That happen above Alder lake it should not show on flow meters

It only came up about 150 cfs for about 4 hours. The news made a big thing of it. But it wasn't.

I made sure when I bought my house that I was sittin high and dry away from any previous mud flows. People call me paranoid, but hey, I wasn't nervous as hell last night when no one knew what was going on.

I seen last week that the odds of Rainier blowing in our lifetime are the same odds that an 86 year old man will die this year.

I grew up in Enumclaw, couldn't wait to get out from under that mountain.

Sinker I grew up there also when did you graduate??My parents used to own the old Wishbone Tavern.

I graduated in '91. The ol' Wishbone!!!!! The only place around with a real palm tree!!!

Are the remains of that thing still around there?? Haven't driven down 224th in years.
