Tellico 1.9 to 3.2 in the time it takes to do two miles of the Tellico. Seven open boaters and three butt boater we found. Pinchalocogringo 8th time in an open boat, Swiming Mexican first trime not bein the newbie ya they had 7 and three swim respectfuly, but they both ran Babies and PLG almost got a roll. Sure one kayaker lost his boat and another had 4 swims but they only used a rope on the first swim of the day, we talked thenm out of usin it again. Big water that just keep gettin bigger. Video will be on Youtube soon. I didn't swim but I was afraid if I did I would miss someone else. Was it too high for some in the group? Ya. Was it dangerous ? Ya. Were we irresposbale for not makin them take off, Ya. Did we get lucky and everyone survived, Ya. did a lot of people learn and improve,Ya. did everyone have a good time and were glad they went, Ya. would we do it again, You dam streight. Tomorrow it will be a very mamageable level.

The middle Tellico was good too. Chris stopped and waved as he went by to meet you guys. 3 open boats, pouring rain and cool when we got there. It guit raining and the sun came out about 1/3 of the way down. River was coming up the entire 5 miles. The Tellico in July/August is a fine thing.
