After the Thunderstorm

My friends Chris and Carrie and I were lucky to dodge most of the thunderstorms going on as we kayaked a 14 stretch of the Frankstown Branch of Juniata River here in Central Pennsylvania. Luckily, the one that hit us was just as we were stopping for lunch at a local historical site that had pavilions to sit under. Just the boats got wet, so we (this shows Carrie and Chris) dried them off and headed on our way on what turned out to be an outstanding trip.

Way too much fun! You guys got lucky to have such a decent amount of flow this time of year...

As an avid Kayaker I used to live by the USGS Flow Gauge Readings.
Anything above 3' was a go for small mountain streams/rivers

Thank you so much for sharing! Brings back many wonderful aquatic memories...

We were lucky in that we had a couple of days of rain before hand. The gauge read 3.2 when we started, minimum is supposed to be 3.4. By the time we did the entire 14 miles it was a minimum. Had lots of rain around us, we were lucky. Tonight the area will be getting anywhere from 6-15". I imagine you'll see a lot of boats on the news going from house to house.
