Again, I looked at the water levels right before leaving the house, and it was in the blue range. I would not have knowingly made the 3 hour drive to go up there with it in the yellow range, but, when we got there, that's where it was.Apparently, there was some water being let out the whole time we were there, as the water level in the Congaree was rising where we took out at the ramp. My girlfriend said it came about 4 feet up the shoreline from the time I took the taxi back to Saluda Shoals to get the truck, to the time I got back, which was only about 1/2 hour.I can't even imagine being out on those rocks and being swept downstream and having to be plucked out of the water.  :shock: Even with a vest and a kayak tethered to me, it was pretty nerve-racking. The huge rock ledge at the red pier was a nice little 'beach' to stop and rest, but I wouldn't want to be hanging out there when those horns went off, especially without a vest, which, I'm sure most people that go out onto the rocks to sunbathe probably don't have.</blockquote>
