   Topic: Leavenworth Weekend
Posted: 23 Apr 2009 at 10:17am |
I'm looking at heading over to L-worth for the weekend. Probably camping somewhere up Icicle. Wanted to hit up the Wenatchee and maybe lower Icicle if the level's good for a 1st time run, but I'm open to suggestions. Might look at doing a little climbing while we're there, too. Anyone interested?

Adam,
I am going to head over again too. I will see you there. I will hook up for the boating but I am not much of a stellar climber so I might be holding you back in that zone.
Maybe ping Leif to see what he is up too.

Oh yea...
The lower is most likely not going to be in, however the middle and upper should be going, upper as an Elf which is good for introductions and the middle on the medium which is good cause I am not looking to push it.
Tumwater should be fun from the dam down to rusty, and we could include the wall if were feeling like it!!
The play run on the snatch will be low by sat if the forecast is correct but I would check it out ...

I am heading down to Opal/Breitenbush.
Forecast for Wenatchee is ~3.5k on Sat, ~2.5k Sun. It is going to be cold over there, highs in the 60s, lows below freezing. Too low for play run, probably still too low for Icicle.

See you all there!

I am heading over as early as possible so I can do a session at grannies before it drops out.
Just FYI for all those heading over. This weekend is going to be a mixed bag, bring creekers and playboats.
Upper icicle is going to be a bit low but maybe doable, the goods will be on the middle and then on portions of tumwater that everyone can pick and choose from. Certainly a few dam down playboat runs.

I bet there will be more water in the Upper Icicle than expected as the lower elevation stuff is not shutting off as quickly with the cool temps at night. A class III option other than the standard play run would be Upper Tum and play at Cherry Hole (pull out above the Wall). If the Wenatchee @ Pesh is 4,000-4,300 Cherry Hole will be sweet and this time of the year that usually means Icicle will go on both the Upper and Middle with the Lower runnable but low.

Icicle was low but fun on monday and medium on tuesday. We ran ricochet both days and on the second water was starting to role up and over ricochet rock. Wensday was a play run and I through the grape vine Icicle was pumping.
As the faucet shuts off icicle will be coming back in likely medium high today. low on sunday. Working all weekend, but everyone else have fun out there.

I think I'm going to jump on the Icicle Train. I know, it sounds like it'll be HO scale, but hey, if there's enough water to run Ricochet, and maybe do a low water run on the Upper, I'd be stoked. Tummy Tum sounds good too.
FYI - I'm having phone trouble. You can call me but I can't call you. Calling me may be better than text for this reason. Alright. Hope to see some of you over there.

Well, I am finally going over to the Wenanchee area and I am going to run Icicle for the first time. So, I am looking forward to some lower flows for my first time down.
Weeeeeeee

I'm going to be staying with some friends off icicle creek. We're going to be rafting. a little lame because the Wenatchee is going to be super low but should be fun.
I'm not even bringing my kayak. I think the only thing that will be in is Tumwater.

Ryan,
Any room in the raft for a cripple?
I cant paddle, but I would love to get on the water.
If not, no worries, just an excited moment.
