Awesome! Ryan, how early is "early enough"?
Dave, are there any rivers in particular that you're interested in running? I'm up for wherever; I'll be happy to get into my boat again

Yotes and I are running the lower gorge on Friday.
9am @ Flaming Geyser. Early, but need to get home early. Merry christmas. All are welcome to come. ------------- Sure? |

Ya, I would like to stay close to home, so if the MM or the Upper Green is running, that would be my choice. I have been on the road for days and still have about 1200miles of driving left, so dont want to drive much on my only 4 days off. ------------- Nomad |

Gwendolyn and Dave, I would be interested in the Upper Green or MM if they're in. My wife thinks the Sky is too far from Enumclaw on Christmas eve, but if it doesn't start raining and that's all that's running, I might be able to get a hall pass... ------------- If you're not prepared to be wrong you'll never come up with anything new. |

I know for some people, the Lower Green may not be as exciting as other runs, but it's one of my favorites due to the scenery... and I already told Tobin I'd be at Flaming Geyser at 9:00am. I have a Family Dinner that starts at 5:00pm and it would be kind of a faux-pas for me to show up looking & smelling like river. So, I too need an early start so I can get home to clean up. *HAHA*
I'd encourage people to come join us on the Lower Green-- flows shouldn't get too low and some great play waves come out!
 What a better way to spend your Christmas Eve, than to be floating down the river with great scenery and good company? I hope to see you all out there!! |

Ya, at this point and the rivers being so low, I may do the Lower with everyone else just to be sociable and spend some time with some good people on Christmas Eve. Plus, I am just exhausted from working and driving all week. Oh, and I dont have a paddle right now because it snapped in half and floated away somewhere on the Upper Green...RIP paddle... ------------- Nomad |

I know it's early Dave, but to ensure that some of us can make it to our early afternoon/evening dinner, we're boating at 9am. I hope you're still going to come out & enjoy the company

Yeah, this darn cold is really kicking my butt! I'm hoping that I'll feel good enough to go paddle this Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday- I specifically took time off work to paddle. So, presuming that having been taking it easy means I'll fight this off sooner, I hope to get out there
Keep me posted on when/where anyone is paddling this week and I'll try to go! Hope to see you all soon!! |
