I was thinkin the same thing last night, then said to myself after typing a post "aw jP- don'tbe mean". So I hit the "clear form" button.

But Brian's right: you can't put that out there without divulging more- do tell!

Yo Mark:
The Upper Green is my staple weekday run due to proximity. Weekends I am off looking for other river adventures.

But should you happen to be available after work next week, flows permitting I'd be happy to show ya down. I'm not allergic to hikin out at Paradise, just allergic to running Upper Green with less than 1500 cfs if I can avoid it. If I'm jonesing I'll run it as low as 1200, but as frequently as its been running lately, that's not likely for me. I suppose I'd make an exception for 1400.

Anyway, if weedays metting at 5-5:30 work gimme a shout. I'm looking for sea kayakers to paddle w/ who aren't lilly dippin pond posers, btw, so we should definitely meet.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 14:04:42 +0000 http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12042&PID=66602#66602 Whitewater Forum : Rapid River http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12043&PID=66601#66601 Author: firewater

For the sake of running laps I plan on putting on just above the third bridge from the takeout.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 13:21:27 +0000 http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12043&PID=66601#66601 Whitewater Forum : 3 or less on week days http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12030&PID=66600#66600 Author: thad2000

Not this time, we scouted and it was clean but there were only two of us and it was def higher than last year and looked stompy in a few places, plus the river wide tree was looking like more of an issue. The one duckable spot basically set you up to drop into a backed up hole with bad angle and no speed. Just putting in at that tree was good enough for me.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 13:07:43 +0000 http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12043&PID=66599#66599 Whitewater Forum : Rapid River http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12043&PID=66598#66598 Author: firewater

Ah cool. Given recent events, I'm a lil gun shy treating the green like a class 3 run.

Sounds like you are ready for it. Is saturday in play at all?]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 12:55:45 +0000 http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12042&PID=66597#66597 Whitewater Forum : Rapid River http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12043&PID=66596#66596 Author: septimus prime

  Well, I used to do WW in Colorado before I abandoned the river for the crags and big wall.  I got into sea kayaking in 2004 when I moved here and now I'm a coastal kayaking instructor who love to play out at the mouth of the Columbia, Deception Passes Room of Doom (a giant whirlpool  under the Whidbey Island side of the bridge that I can do stern enders in with a 17' long kayak).  Not to say that because of these things I'm an incredibly WW paddler so much as to say that I can generally put my boat where I want it.
  I do appreciate the unvarnished comments on my WW paddling resume, however.  Besides I'm always ready to give it a shot, with the right folks.
