I have things to do tomorrow, but have time to sneak in an a.m. run. Was thinking about being at the Tanner take out at 8am (ouch!) I can do earlier than 8 if someone has similar time constraints. But you bring the coffee if you are thinking true dawn patrol  Totally cool if you are new to the run and want to come - happy to show lines, give crappy pointers that take years of formal education to correct, etc. If the level stays at 1800, give or take, its a pretty nice ride for a first time. If the levels shoot up past, say 2500, I might bail - been 6 months out of the boat and was hoping for more chill. Post up here if you are coming - if no one chimes in, I might have to go do something lame... like skiing....in neon.

| How'd you feel about a newb in a packraft? I have been up to II+ without any major issues, and would like to try something harder ... portaging is easy if need be. |

Good to know! I favor the early starts, but find it harder sometimes to rally people for the early trips.
I'll post up earlier next time. ------------- “The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.” |

I also missed this post but I also prefer early starts as I have young kids and it allows me to spend part of the day with them. Class IV boater with solid experience. Let me know if going out early again. |
