Just a reminder that the draw-down in Old Forge boost the levels Friday morning of Moosefest. If you’re looking at the USGS gauge over the next week this is how you estimate the actual festival flows. As of right now we are looking at ~3.2ft which is a crowd favorite!

These releases will be lost. Fortunately the others in the spring we may be able to reschedule. Regardless, these are not decisions we are happy to have to make.

Festival event pages will not go up until Cuomo allows public gatherings. Spring Moose is definitely canceled. Maybe we will do a July 4th slice and BBQ instead.
