That’s it!  No more Kaweah, no more Merced.  We’re cleared out of the bug,  said goodbye to Dorletta and her tasty burgers for the year, and put the Merced t-shirts in storage until next year.  If you missed these rivers this […]

This just in from Corporate (you know, the office down the hall, a chat with scheduler Amy and Kaweah River manager Danny): The powers that be are telling us that the Kaweah River snowmelt is ON and this will be […]

It doesn’t take a genius with a degree in meteorology or geophysics or whatever to see that this spring the weather has been WHACK!  Hail, windstorms, humidity, rain, blazing sunshine, huge puffy clouds, grey haze and freezing nights.  We’ve been […]
