Is the James River at Glasgow going to be tubable this coming weekend. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Not to whiz in your Cheerios, but being the conscious paddler I am, I
would put in upstream of Glasgow and tube down to Glasgow. You can put
it at Locher Tract (by the Yogi Bear Campground) and have a nice float
down to Glasgow. If you put in at Glasgow, you'll have to deal with
Balcony Falls. Not impossible in a tube, but it wouldn't be the first
place I would pick to tube. Also, it's a looonnggg tube through the
fla****er at the end of that section to get to the takeout. I don't
like it even with paddles and boats...

Ought to be plenty high for you, I'd say well over 4 feet (not taking into
account any residue from Claudette we may be graced with). Should be a fairly
quick trip. But forget the tubing, Goshen Pass is up!! A hint: consult the
USGS gauge for the James at Buchanan (sp?), it stays pretty close to what the
James is through Glasgow/Snowden despite not factoring in the flow of the Maury
(how does it do that!?!?) Enjoy,
