Hi -
I'll be visiting PNW next week, coming into Seattle. I boat Class 4/5 to 5 stuff in the S.E. and looking for similar Cascade opportunities Mon/Tue/Wed before heading up to BC for another 4 to 5 days. What are current levels on Icicle, Ohanny, Cowlitz etc? Runnable next week? Anyone open to boat and show 2 SE boys the goods, share shuttle Mon-Wed?
Thanks,
Jerry Jascomb

I have a question... Is this by chance the same jerry jascomb in a past issue of Canoe and Kayak ? If so here is what I recommend... Meet up with Rob, a fellow old man ripper (although he does not qualify as old, and tears up the term ripper) He lives to boat and can session your ass up one side and down the other of the Hwy 2 drainage... http://professorpaddle.com/rivers/riverdetails.asp?riverid=1034 - Icicle is dropping pretty quick now, but the goods will be in while you are here, of course you can dip into the http://professorpaddle.com/rivers/riverdetails.asp?riverid=668 - tumwater if you like too. Consider the hike into http://professorpaddle.com/rivers/riverdetails.asp?riverid=4110 - Thunder because it is coming into range now and is kinda on your way to the BC border. The http://professorpaddle.com/rivers/riverdetails.asp?riverid=527 - nooksack stuff is going to be in for a while too and that is right at the border. I would be all over boating with ya, but I am a lame duck right now. Hope you have a blast up in the PNW, and watch out for that Barton guy... j/k  |

I definitely can't lead any class IV/V stuff, but I have Monday-Thursday off next week and depending on the run I might be up for tagging along. I can lead the BC Chehalis and would be up for the Chilliwack if either of those are a part of your plans.

Hey, James - I think we met back in 2007? Were you up in BC for the weekend in late July that year.....I think it was the Birkenhead?
Anyway, thanks for responding, and sorry you can't boat next week. Not sure who Rob is, but let me know. Think I'm going to let Brett get me trashed in big holes....ha. Headed up to meet with Leland Davis the 23-25th for the Callaghan thing.

------------- Sure? |

The Funny thing is-- Rob was also featured in the same issue as you, Jerrry. BTW I think it is awesome to see ya pop up on here lookin for folks to boat with. Me? I'm very likely gonna be available to paddle Mon - Wed next week. I'm rather confined to the White Salmon, but if there's one river I'm happy to be confined to, it is the White Salmon. So if you wanna come paddle the Green Truss before you head up to BC, hit me up down here via this site- send me a PM. The Green Truss section of the White Salmon is at a decent medium flow right now- lots of fun! The Little White is gettin a wee Bit low. people can still scrape down it, but it could be a boat breaker if you don't know where you are going down to the finer 3" wide line or so. anyway, send me a PM if you wanna come down. I've been paddling for a few decades myself, and I know the Truss really well. What ever you do, have a great time boating out here! ------------- 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋 |
