I was down in North Wash this last weekend with Ram, Jenny, Doc Science, Tom W and a few others. Here are the conditions we found:
Sat 3/12: Marinus Arch and Canyon: generally dry. No one went in the big pothole, but the pool at the bottom required one person to swim. Two did. Further down, one other swim I think.
Sun 3/12: the gang went to Long Canyon (into White Cyn) and found it generally dry. One mandatory swimmer near the end, but all other water could be avoided by Rimaneering. I did Blue Notch Canyon (into White Cyn) and it was dry.
Mon 3/12: we did Pothoez and the Potholes had water in them. Two swimmers, I think, on the day. The road past Danish Knoll is pretty messed up - fully capable vehicle required.
Daytime temperatures were almost too warm. The PG-slot stuff in Pothoez was pleasant in the shade and too hot in the sun, wearing pads, tshirt and shorts. Switched to the full wetsuit for the final rapping section, and it was just right.
