Gonna meet Slickhorn at that frderal way PnR at 8:30a. Bringing some extra food for the possibility of a longer trip. Maybe a bottle of beer... Might bring a rain slicker to wear over my "dry" suit. Campchair if it'll fit in the back of my boat...

Lookin forward to some Tilton w/ the PPeeps.

Alll, BrianP!!

Ok-
Just want to say that the savvy boater tomorrow is going to want to remember to pack a small plastic bowl or mug and a plastic spoon. Best policy would be to pack it right now, if I were you.

i just signed up for professor paddle due to meeting someone on the tilton. me and a friend have floated it once before at 1200 and that was his first time kayakin. we plan on leaving chehalis to go float it at about 1030. we will both be in inflatables, is there any particular spot at this flowof 1700 or so to look out for(minus the log jam), my memory of the river is kinda hazy, because when the rapids came... they came. thank u

hey BoDigglesby,    the lines on the rapids are pretty much the same at 1200 as they are at 1700 but its is a good bit faster and pushier,  less time to recover from flips or swims

the run is more or less clear of wood (the log jam is now wide open on the left side), but there is some wood in the boulder garden near the end of the run that could be bad, just stay left at the start of that rapid and you will be fine
