This is the Upper Green discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Upper Green | Trip Page

join me and a friend from Colorado in his first time boating in Warshington.  Yahoo!   Only if levels stay above 1200.  Can someone remind me of the lock combo?  0000 if I remember correctly.

Might have three people joining you--all have done the run at least a couple times.  One knows the combo. :-)

dudes, I'm thinking about coming. Since you've planned your trip the MM has passed 4000 cfs. Anyone care to reroute?

Paradise was pretty good yesterday.   I'm not an expert on all the levels, but it seemed to be a bit high of optimum.  I think it could have been a bit more retentive since I was getting flushed out on the left side.  Of course, I'm not a very good playboater so take that with a grain of salt.

I agree, Paradise did seem a bit higher than the gauge indicated, but- wow, what a spectacular feature!

Brett that guide I wrote up is dead on accurate if your looking for the levels that shes good in.

Eric, was that your first time at Paradise? If so you have to go back a few hundred lower. I just gets better and better.... What a spot ...

That is one of the only places that I have body surfed and been able to do rolls and spins while staying in the pile. Best practiced when the weathers a bit warmer...
