[Awclist] Big Mama Chama

Sun May 23 21:32:05 MDT 2010

Friends from Durango and I have canceled several planned Box days  
because of the levels. Ran it early season twice at 800 and 1100 and  
it still has not risen much. Highest this year has been maybe  
1700-1800 I think. Very strange for an el nino year, right? Ran the  
Piedra on Saturday and it was cranking nicely. Nobody was on it for  
some reason. The dust (wind) storms were incredible. Wow.
