 Topic: Coffee, donuts, and whitewater! Posted: 27 Jul 2013 at 10:41am |
I have the worst kayaker diet and I have failed miserably at trying to change it, so I might as well keep up a proud tradition of coffee and donuts for breakfast, then an afternoon of whitewater.
I'm heading to Tumwater Sunday afternoon to finally run that stretch. I haven't run it yet so it would be great to meet up with some folks who have. I'll be there between one and two pm. Hopefully closer to one. I might be wired to the gills on caffeine, but I'll be ready to do this!
jP, will you be available? I remember you said your weekends get booked pretty fast.
Anyway, call me, post, or send me a private message.

Sorry, Oscar- tis the season of weddings, and I am out of town this weekend attending one. I will say that flows are good for "Tumwater Lite", although P.O.W. & Exit are always class V.
FYI Tumwater is a good pre-req for Robe, which I know interests you. Tum is great due to its roadside nature- you can take out at the Rusty Bridge above POW if you wish. Sorry not to be able to conbect, but have a great time! Shorty weather these days- feels good on the water in there!

Thanks jP. Yep, as you know, my sights are on Robe and one of the very reasons I'm getting on this stretch is in preparation for Robe. Tumwater stays in for awhile doesn't it?

well, it should be good for at least another week or two, Im guessing. But the sooner the better. I will try to keep it on the radar, so don't give up on me if you head out this way- always worth trying to sync up!

I'm giving this run another shot this weekend. Leaving Sunday morning. I'll be meeting at the first gas station in Leavenworth from highway 2 at 10am. I might be a little later depending on how everyone feels.

Thanks for helping me get on this run folks (rockarolla and others) and for showing me the lines. I love this run. I'd like to do it again next week, but if someone else would like to drive this time from Seattle, then that would be great. I gots gas money, and the donuts, and coffee. I'll probably start a fresh thread for next weekend.
And Travis, farewell buddy, enjoy New York.

Yeah, sorry I coukdn't make it. Gotta run that livestock downstream.
(But that's fun too)
Got one more weekend then I'm gonna be free to paddle. No water too mqny other places, so Tumwater will probably be my game. I will start posting...
And I got Thursday off. So anyone wanting some Tum in their water then hit me up. Friday too, come to think of it...
