if Glenns runs ill ditch the noobs tonight...dont think quickly rising creeks make for the best beginner experience...

keep us updated stream watchers!

ok folks, I pass by Cedar Creek on my way home, around 5ish, does anyone know that creek and want to get on it if its there?

Where is Glenns and can I do it? Anyone?

I've done Cedar at a HUGE level. big wave trains, 2 portages. i doubt it would run today unless we get a biblical flood. I dont know it well enough to lead or shuttle it.

Glenns...never run it but its in Millville, just east of Frankfort. Another backyard run for us Jason, if it ever runs...

Jason, you've seen Glenns Creek before. It looks like it would be a fun run. Where is the put-in and takeout?

Does anyone think Benson could run? I don't know how the rain has been in that area today.

Watch for strainers on Glenns. I generally think of it as a Nanty type run, but a couple of those islands up top have trees at the bottom and one time in particular there was a river wide tree that we caught on a boat scout at the last minute and had to portage.

remember trees up the ante on our local creeks.


I would be looking at the creeks down by Wilmore and on the river side of Nicholasville / Danville if I were boating today. Looks like 2" in an hour in some of those storms.

The worst part of the storm missed the Frankfort area.

Looks like most of the rain went further south -- I think the storm moved too fast to dump enough to get the creeks up. If the detention basin outside my office doesn't fill up.....
