If you are interested in BC rivers or beta, help us build a good base or just check out what we have so far.

Thompson's gauge and a few others should be up and running in a few.

Hey James,

I'd be willing to write some TR's on the few runs that I've done up in BC including Callaghan Creek, High and low water Mine Runs on Ashlu, Cheakamus, Chehalis, Chilliwack Canyon and the Nahatlach if you are looking for people to post TR's on any of those.

Rad... If you want you can write your own TR and just refrence it to the Run or what I would recommend is that you just click the run and edit the beta.

The rule of thumb is that the Rivers Beta is too be descriptive but totally un related to a personal account etc... So don't update beta with I like running the left side and bill ran the right instead. You would say something like The drop is 12 feet tall, portage on the right, scout on the left. Best line is left boof with right angle etc...

The names and full on personal accounts are for Trip Reports. The idea of the beta is to give the best idea of what a run is like, not what your experience was like. The idea of a trip report is to give a report of your experience.

Make sense. What ever you can contribute would be rad. I know you have been all over up there so have at it.

I will get some work done on the Callaghan and some others I have done, but I have never made it on the Ashlu, so I would love to have the experience and first hand knowledge there.

Thanks Mike... The chilliwack is not listed but if you tell me the sections I can toss them up there so you can edit those.

Also big side note. if you run accross gauge pages let me know so I can add them or ref the link.

Mike I approved your submission and Thought it kicked ass Very nicely written... I could almost picture the drops, and now I want to go check it out even more.

Thanks. If you have media all these runs are in the database now so you can tie photo's to them.. I think I have a few around of the mini mine. I will get them up later... They are not my photo's though. ;)

Might give me a good excuse to go back in there and get some pictures. This is one of those runs thats always hard to get partners for though which kind of sucks since its a stellar run.

You should add Fear Canyon on the Elaho too James if it isn't on there yet. I've ran that one a couple of times at different levels and can also write something up.

The Elaho gauge is up and running and the Level has been changed from Meters on the Staff to Cubic Meters Per Second.

These changes will take place on the next gauge update which is in the next 10 minutes.
