I have not been out there Grumpy, but last I heard, a couple of weeks ago it was real dry.
You probably know it's been raining down there pretty good.
RDM0470 told me today that the canals are getting full, and the waters is getting pumped West. He's a little further south of 2a.
Guess it may be getting better.
Wish I had better info for ya, but someone will come along here who does.

grumpy, cowboy,
Yeah the canals here in Collier are full too!
Every night I look out to the glades,(what am i talkin about, i live off of Everglades blvd) and see the rain there too.
Rained everyday here right on schedule for 2 weeks straight except for 2 days. Should be gettin better out there?

I haven't been out in quite awhile so I can't give you firsthand knowledge of the levels. I do monitor the levels using this website:
http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/h2o/reports/r-wca2.html
There are two sites I pay attention to......Site 2-17 is north of the east/west trail approx. 5 miles out, and Site 2-19 is about halfway down the levee trail near Wiles Road. Last time I was out the level was 11.65, and the ride was okay. Unless you're adventurous and don't mind pushin', I'd wait till the level was at least 11.5. My experience is that when the level gets below 11 feet, bring your 4-wheeler. As Site 2-17 is north of Site 2-19, and the water flows north to south, it's levels are usually a bit higher. I usually split the difference.
Over the years, I've seen it fill up quick. This year it's been slow. But I know it rained like heck today, and there's more comin' tonight, so check the numbers tomorrow and Saturday. They update them every night.
Hope this helps......

Ran it on the 4th of July. From Sawgrass north to Willards, its fine for a boat with any gumption at all. From Willards to Boars head and to Neverrest, its fine although its a bit dry at Hog Heaven. (whatever the new name is) . Usuallt 2-3 inches around. Regards, Maddog

Yes...I noticed 2-19 sticking at 10.97 for a long time now.......you'd think those Water Management guys would look at that as an excuse to get their airboat out.......
Site 2-17 seems to be okay though. Couple more days like today, and it'll be good to go!!!!
