Spoke with Doug at Marble Mountain Ranch over the weekend. The news was not good.......

He said the river is SLOWLY clearing. It is much different than the turbidity that a rain storm causes, where it clears up rather quickly. He didn't elaborate on the causes of the dirty water, other than it is fire fighting related. He said give it at least 2 weeks, and check back.

I am very surprised about this. Not sure what the issue could be since there hasn't been any rain up there lately. Maybe a slide? Who knows.

Anyway.....that's the scoop from someone who lives on the river. FYI, MM Ranch is just upstream of Somes Bar, for reference.
