This is the Time on the Tieton discussion thread. Please post any questions below. Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Time on the Tieton | Trip Page It's the river we all love to hate. The river we swear we will never go back to, but always do anyway. I am leaving Friday afternoon, and plan to spend the weekend. I have room for up to two more boaters in my truck (play boats only...).

| I'll be up there on Sunday, the 16th. Can't go saturday, though, since we've got a show that's pretty much taking up my whole day. |

Darn it. I hate when she stays logged in on my laptop. Anyway - we'll be there with Tobin. I don't know if we're heading over Friday or Saturday morning. - Adam ------------- I drink rum and wear my wife's underwear when no one is looking! |

| For those who want to rock saturday night, I'm playing a relatively high profile show in the Tri-Cities (less than 2 hours from the Tieton) Saturday night. We start playing at 7. Outside of that, enjoy the toga party and I'll see you hungover bastards on sunday. |

I'd like to tag along for one of the runs however I'll only be able to make it for one day. Do you know what time you'll be planning to put on each day?
Thanks,
Ethan

I was going to make a joke about "high profile" and "Tri cities", but elected not to, as I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
That said, see you all out there. I'll be leaving the seattle metro on Friday in the early afternoon, so if anyone wants a ride... I've got one passenger - should have room for two more. ------------- |

I'm thinking about heading over friday late morning... Where is everyone thinking about camping? WRRR has a group site that James and I stayed in last weekend, but i'm sure it will be very crowded this weekend. Scott ------------- |

| Haha, well, by "high profile" I mean an arena show with an expected attendance of over 1000 people (we're playing first, so we'll be lucky to have 250 there for our set, but that's not the point), radio and tv commercials, and other such exposure. |

I'm staying at Milepost 171. There is usually plenty of room
there if anyone wants to join. One thing for sure is that its way
less dusty there!! Its a nice place to put-in too bout 1 mile
above the dam....

I want to remind everyone to bring warm clothes! I forgot how
damn cold it gets at night and in the mornings over there. We
were so cold on Sat morning we thought about not doing an early run and
waiting for the afternoon!! With the fire ban its even tougher to
stay warm at night... Love, Horner ------------- MORE RAIN PLEASE |

Funny... Just good natured humor... Seriously though, that sounds like a pretty major event. Congratulations and good luck. I'd come, but I don't think I'd fit in that well at that sort of event. ------------- |

I'm pretty sure I'm in. Probably head over friday afternoon. May or may not have a new boat to try out as well. Hope the duct tape holds! Not sure if I'm leaving strait from Renton or heading back through Duvall. I'll probably have room for one other person if you need a ride. What's the dilly with the Toga party? I'm assuming a sheet and lots of booze??!!![]("http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif") ------------- "What could possibly go wrong?" www.flickr.com/photos/jeffdwyer/ |

The toga party is a yearly tradition at the Tieton. Wear a toga
and party on! The biggest campfire I have ever seen was burning
at my first toga party years ago. They dropped an old growth
stump on it that was about as big as the raft trailer they brought it
in on. You couldn't even get 15 feet away from the thing without
burning your hair!! From what I hear the burn ban won't affect
the fire for the toga party. It has been at the same spot for the
last few years, near the take-out. Look for the sign on your way
down the river on Sat. music starts at 8.... ------------- MORE RAIN PLEASE |

![]("http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif") Hey, Bushwaker here, I made it to the Professor Paddle Ball a few months ago and had a great time. I'm newer to kayaking but have been a whitewater rafting guide for 4+ years. Looking to hang with a few NEW PEOPLE WHO DON'T MIND GIVING ME A GENTILE PUSH IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I just got a new Toyota 4Runner and don't mind giving someone a ride. In a perfect world I would like to tag along with a group who could show me the ropes about the TIETON. Don't worry I can carry my own weight..
Respectfully,
Bushwacker ------------- Pray to the River God |

Always a pleasure to paddle with yahoos..My cell is 602-332-3733, I will be leaving from work at 5pm on Friday and be looking forward to a cold beer while I set up my car camp whenever I get there. Is the camp easy to find near the mile marker? ------------- Pray to the River God |

Its pretty easy to find. When you see the milepost look on your
left for a turn-off. You'll probably see ARC's big old white tent
and maybe their bus. ARC is a very small company with only 1 or 2
guides so its not out of hand. If you continue downstream (left)
we'll be camped back in there. look for a big red dodge
truck. If you were to go upstream you'll probably find some RV's
parked.... My number is 206.696.1195. not sure i will have
reception there though...we are leaving friday around 1PM... Horner YAAAHOOOO *NOTE DIRECTIONS ARE WHEN TRAVELING WEST ON 12.... ------------- MORE RAIN PLEASE |
