This whole thing is Han's trip, but he was having problems posting a trip online, so i posted for him.  I shouldn't have used the term "party" in the title, I suppose thats not what's really going on,  i just didnt know what else to call it...
 
Looks like we're gonna get a medium flow this weekend.  Sweet!

i thought party was a great word usage!

3.2 and dropping as of ten minutes ago,the best level for a raft hands down.



This is a paddle not a race, however there r some folks that have some interest in being time so we will make that happen from just below the bridge to the top of big bro. know one has to bomb down if they dont want to, there will be plenty of solid paddlers that arnt bombing to paddle with.

people are showing up and the weather is lookin good!

Rad weekend.  Epic carnage at Big Brother and BZ, a long swim at lower zig-zag, some swims elsewhere, two blown floors, and several cave explorers at BB.  The truss is quite raftable. 


The line will become apparent

Awesome weekend!!!    10 rafts descended the Truss, half ran Big Brother,  the pool below Double Drop had a cheering section of over 35 people as you dropped in.  Epic!
Lots of video and pics will be available shortly,  lots are being posted on Facebook already.   Huge props to Hans for organizing this great gathering!  Amazing energy on the river all weekend!

Does anybody know how to contact the person who was taking pictures with his DSLR during the run? I didn't catch his name but I think it was Keel or something. Thanks.
