I'm looking for folks in the Olympia area to paddle with. I'm a tentative class 4 boater as it's been a few years since I've paddled regularly. I'm willing to push myself a bit and I want to get out as much as possible. Send an email if you're interested.

hey Andy, there is a small group of Oly kayakers. Our "backyard run" is the Tilton, class III-IV run depending on the levels. Typically we get out every weekend even if it isn't the Tilton. I'll be sure to keep you in the loop next weekend depending on what we're doing.

Hope to paddle with you soon.

Jed

Yeah- I think it would be awesome if you guys solidify an Olympic Contingent down there. I know I talk a lot of smack about how I want to get down there and boat: Tilton, N. Frk Tilton, Toutle, Upper (as distinguished from the UPPER UPPER) Cispus, there's plenty of good class III and IV near you guys. Plus you're at the OP's backdoor. You guys should take advantage of the sweet spot your at.

This last month has proven to be an awesome month for the Sky drainage, so it's been hard for me to break away from it. But I'm getting to know the class IV runs up in there better and better, so hit me up for beta when you make it up here!

Anyway, I still want to plug into some southwest washington action this winter, so keep me on your radar so I can come down and join yall!

Hey folks! I live in Puyallup, so its just as easy for me to drive south as it is north. I haven't boated south west washington yet, but would love to get down there and learn a few more rivers!

I live between the Satsop and the Wynoochee. There are no paddling partners around me. I would be stoked to boat anything. Send me an e-mail kristopherwilson@msn.com
