After a meet-up with my family in Edison Lake, it would be convenient to get back on the JMT near MTR, I can get a ride over to Florence...

...wondering if I the ferry is happening. The appropriate website which I believe is run by the MTR folks does not indicate otherwise, but thought it worth asking in case anyone had been there recently... :)

Update: someone on Reddit tells me they took it last week, so that's something.

The Florence Lake Ferry was running as of last Thursday and as of last Sunday. Water level in the lake was not very low.

Post facto: as of 2 weeks Florence was still mostly full; the ferry was running daily at 8:30-4:30 every 2 hours.

Showed up at 10 from Kaiser Pass Road for the 10:30 and was sold a ticket, did not arrive farside however until 12:15 or so; was told 3 people failed to show for work(!) and the diligent woman running the shop and selling tickets was ferrying people one boatload at a time. We were trip #3.
