This is the Cooper/Cle Elum... discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Cooper/Cle Elum... | Trip Page

Cooper on Saturday; possibly Cle Elum as well.  Depending on the group, stay on the Cooper and Cle Elum on Sunday, or head over to the Wenatchee drainage.

Camp near Salmon La Sac camp ground Friday PM (numerous free areas), and meet up at the camp ground Saturday morning.

Looks like all the momentum is flowing that way. Been wanting to get over there for both Cle Elum & Cooper. Sounds iffy to me, like there'll barely be enough H2O. But then again, I don't know the drainage too well, and I'm getting conflicting reports. I'll probably go for it. Can't beat some hot weather and some overnight camping!!

Not to mention ye olde swimming hole.

I'd like to head over tonight (fri), with a stop at FITWah, of course.

--and, just food for thought: if the drainage turns out to be too low (I guess no matter what Cooper will be good, huh?) how about a plan "B" on Ricochet? Sorry, Lief, guess I'm engaging in potential highjak activity.

I was there on Saturday.  No real wood issues, it was mostly along the shoreline and out of play.  It wasn't juicy as expected, but more along the lines of a medium-low.  Whos know's how much she has left.  Guess she shot her load earlier than we all expected.
