Hey all, I'm new to the Port Orchard area, out from Colorado and I'm psyched to get out on some local water now that rivers are flowing! Anyone willing to let me and my brother (both solid class IV+ boaters dabbling in the harder stuff) join in on the fun? We can go alone in true exploratory style, and did it for the Sultan and the MM Snoqualmie recently but it's always good to have more along for the ride. Advice on rivers near me that are must-runs? Looking at Jefferson/Hamma Hamma, Lower Big Q, Elwha (is it good to go this high?), EF Quinault (probably too high) or anything south or east of us as far as a few hours drive away!

I'm usually happy to make long drives, spend nights camped in cars, leave work early, etc. to get the goods but Saturday I have bday plans. Thanks in advance, and see you on the river! Let's go boating!

Thanks dan! We decided on the gorge run on the skokomish today. Robe should happen as soon as we can though... Good advice all around.
