That analogy doesn't stretch my mind too much- except Pillow has a rude bump in the road at 700 which doesn't really have a correlation on the UY. Oh yeah- and the rocks look different- the UG rocks are rockier looking (please note- I am just kidding here). But- I don't see why ya'll are calling the UG "low" at 700 cfs. "Low" is below 250 ~ ELFin levels. 700 is bunches and plenty.
Richard- Friday my daughter and I snagged a great Cheat Canyon run at 140 cfs. I don't know if you could got one of those humongous canoe things down at that level- but it was way plenty for our humble Thrillseekers. And- there were no crowds!
no crowds.....
But- re the initial comparison yeah- but the UY is~ c r o w d e d! The UG at 700 is a pretty lonely place. So- see? that's a big difference too. And the the rocks are rockier looking.
