Anyone up for a class III run on Saturday?  I've been out of my boat for almost 3 months and need a warm up.  I'd be up for anything II / III, III, or III (IV).

<> html,body{border:0px;} td {border:1px dotted #CCCCCC;} Same here... cracked a rib in August and haven't been in the boat since. I'd like to do lower Gorge, S Fk Sno, or MM or something class 3.

But Hwy 2 is closed.  I-90 would make it a long drive for me.  What time are you meeting for the Wenatchee just in case something changes with Hwy 2?

I would be up for Pilchuck Creek if it stays above 800 CFS, or the Sauk if it stays below 16,000 CFS.

We're thinking the Lower Green Gorge.

If you come with us, we'll let you buy the beer.

I'm waiting on a friend to let me know what he's planning on doing tomorrow.  It's looking like it's either going to be the Sauk, the Wenatchee ( now that Hwy 2 is open )or the MM.  Then again, it's possible we might run the Sky from the North Fork all the way down to Big Eddy.  So after all that talk I guess I haven't slimed my choices down after all.

Dale, are you the same Dale that I paddled with a couple weekends ago? If so, what is the lower gorge like for a first time run at these levels? <> html,body{border:0px;} td {border:1px dotted #CCCCCC;}

Hey Brian, yep, that's me.

The highest I've done it is 2400ish. It was quite the roller coaster, but still pretty manageable. If it's still 3000 or better, we'll probably put in below the first couple rapids, which would simplify things considerably and probably keep the run class IIIish, unless we just happen to have a bold group, in which case, I'd like to scout a bit before we put on.
