After checking the gauges online (Read 0.66") in the morning and taking into account the recent rainfall my self and Kenny Eichler another WCP member decided to head out to Wilson creek. When we got to the bridge we realized just how wrong the gauge was, at the bridge the gauge was somewhere in between -6" and -8" but after making the drive we didnt want to go back so we ran it anyway. We only made one run which was mostly uneventful. The entire length of the creek was quite scrapy and I would not reccommend making the trip at this level. However a few lines were different, at 10ft Falls you should run much further right than than normal because the left side is nearly dry and boatbuster it is essential you take the boof on the right becuase the left side closes up. Despite a lack of water the weather was great and no problems arose. But if you are going to Wilson Creek try to get a actual gauge reeding because you can't rely on the online gauge at all.
