Darn...hoping it could come back next year. In my view , it is the best source of info for the West End. It's real time, and the camera gives you a much better feel than any written report. I always check it several times a day and for sure when heading up...sure helps me to better make the go-no go decision for a 2 hour drive.

I think it is a safety factor is helping people to know when they should stay off. The central basin has the buoy over there, but it is too far to give you any read on the west end! Sure would be nice if the national weather service would fund it to keep it going. Lets all email Ed with some letters of support!
