Sparse Grey Matter

Not a total blow out, but close. The Upper East Branch of the Delaware (Downville to East Branch) is at a real nice level. So is the first few miles below the damn on the West Branch. There is always Ronbo's pond!

We are playing with some anti spam measures. I happened to be out of town for the afternoon and was unable to deal with it as it happened.
