    One FF to another?, watch the discharge out of Wolf Creek Dam. With one generator running,,., 3400 cfs there is no wading. Once TVA/COE have the level of LC stabilized, they will drop the discharge to no generators, but will keep the Sluice Gates open. That's the time to wade the Cumberland!!!

    It's trickie and you could beach it or bust it just about anywhere at 3,000cfs. biggest thing I think would be getting it on and off the trailer? The've been bumping it up to 6,000 cfs in the afternoon thats a little more yet they shut it back down to 3. Last time I checked.

    Just checked they bumped it up to 6,700 today. That's a decent level in my opinion. They keep it at that you should be okay I wouldn't open it up. Float it down to Winfreys so you don't have to worry about coming back up? Just have to wonder if they will cut it off?
