    Nope... you won't really find anything on the web either (aside from Mountainbuzz posts) and the DWR site is the only one with an accurate gauge.

    You can find it here

    Alright... here's a few pics of the Florida per request....
    Manky put-in rapid. IV- ish... continues on around the corner with some wood dodging.

    Most of the run looks like this... 20-30 little 1-4 foot ledges.




    Newman lining up for the Bridge Drop hole, a sticky little beast. He almost went back in for a beat down, but pulled out at the last second.


    Looking downstream at the Bridge Drop. A lot of people get worked in here after smacking their paddles on the bridge.


    This run is about 3 miles long. Everything from the put-in down is private land, so most of the time you're floating through peoples back yards. It's pretty bony up until about 550 cfs (which is only about 2-3 days a year max). Pics are 650 cfs. Once it gets padded, the playboating in here is amazing, especially on 2 of the 4 bigger ledges towards the bottom (not pictured).

    Cool, thanks for posting up. 20-30 of those little ledges!? I was expecting a smaller, bonier creek but that looks like good clean fun. Looks like you guys had a nice level! I wish we would have held off on the Piedra to rise and been able to hit up more shit in the area at the same time.

    ...You do what you gotta do to get a fix.
