Cle Elum River - Play Run @ ~2000cfs - 5/28/07

Despite dragging my creek boat along all Memorial Day weekend it didn't look like I was going to put it to use. Disappointing but we got on the river none the less. We did the play run stretch of the Cle Elum again. It was a bit lower so the run wasn't as big as it was the previous day but the...

Cle Elum River - Play Run @ ~2600crs - 5/27/07

I ran the play run of the Cle Elum River on Sunday 5/27/07. This is an easy Class II stretch of river that was a LOT of fun. There is some really good surf waves and holes that are not intimidating and lots of fun. This is a perfect beginner stretch. There was quite a bit of wood in the river that was...

Sauk River @ 7000 cfs - 5/26/07

I ran the Sauk River for the first time on Saturday 5/26/07. This was day one of the Memorial Day weekend. I've heard that this is a fun run that is a step up from the Middle Middle but easier than the Sky. I think this is an appropriate description. The flow was fairly high and from what others...

FITW - 5/23/07

Yesterday after work there was a HUGE group of paddlers that were up at Fall in the Wall (FITW). I think there were 10 in our group and probably 30 or more people were there through the day. It was a low to medium low flow which means low consequenses and lots of fun. This was my first time running it...

Weekend in Leavenworth

I headed to the Leavenworth area for a weekend of kayaking. The Professor Paddle Ball was this weekend and was a huge success. There were easily 50 people or more that showed. People were kayaking everything from Lower Icicle, Upper Tumwater, Peshastin Creek, Ingles Creek, and the Wenatchee. After rolling...

Saturday MM @ 1600 cfs

Leif and I met up with a guy named Kirk that I paddled with about a year ago on Saturday. He has since had the same shoulder surgery and rehab as I from the same surgeon and Physical Therapist. I recommended my surgeon, Dr. Watt, when we paddled together a year ago and I'm glad to hear he took my...

Afterwork MM Run @ 1600 cfs - 5/10/07

Got on the Middle Middle again yesterday after work. There were about 10 of us and was a good time. Not near as fun as Tuesday since it was at 1600 cfs instead of ~2000 but hit all the hardest lines and waves I could. Jeff had a run in with a pretty big hole and managed to work himself out. I was impressed...

Middle Middle Run Tuesday night

This kayaking blog has been quiet for a while lately but I have been on the river quite a bit. After 2 weeks or so of no boating I got on the middle section of the middle fork of the Snoqualmie River, cleverly nicknamed the 'Middle Middle'. It's only 30 minutes away and makes for a great...
