Anyone else out here who does not have commitments (family or otherwise) that wants to paddle or surf, here's a spot to hook it up.

I'm getting paid for the time off this year, so I'm game for a little more adventure than last year (though last year was the first of my two, and likely only two trips of the CL-III reach of the NF Snoqualmie).

Olympic camping trip? Tilton party weekend? OR camping trip?

Let us see what the rain has to offer, and then go out and get wet!

I am planning to head out to the PNW from Colorado. I would like to hook up with others and paddle anytime from 11/16-11/24. Class IV+ paddler. Anyone available to show me around?

Ok, so maybe a one topic catch all for the weekend/holiday might not be wise, but perhaps a launching pad for people to find who wants to engage in similar runs without certainty of which runs yet.

I'm still thinking Tilton camping/cabin rental weekend, myself.

If not, I'm sure there'll be lots of other options within an hour of my abode for me to engage.

Tilton......all weekend.....damn fun!

I think too much.

What I want to do:
Tilton, because it kicks ass, but it is a haul and why I want to stay down there (though I have no idea if the only options left are tent sites. A cabin would rock if a few people split the cost, though.

Green, because it is close and fun. 'Nuff said.

Sout Fork Snoqualmie, if it is above 1500 (maybe a little below) to 2k. I hear it is really fun at those flows.

Possibly some stuff north-ish, if like the Tilton I don't have to drive home to sleep and get to run twice.

I got nothing against the MM as it is close enough, and I haven't been up there in months.

Here's a random quick idea: overnight Green? My dilemma with that is my dog. I'm sure he'd love to suffer through it but I have no raft. It'd be worth it to board him a night if we get a crew going. Or any sort of quasi camping (car camping and running laps) involving staying out at the Green.

I'm kinda stuck at cl IV max regardless what I do, as I have no creeker/higher volume boat.
