What time are you thinking, strong possibility I'll head that way! I have my own two boat shuttle (motorized bicycle) too... So just riding with me is a possibility.
It does mean waiting 45 minutes drinkin beer at the takeout till I get back though...

That ain't a bad way to spend time at the take out!
I was thinking of carpooling with my friend Mike, who hasn't done the tilton. Anyway I'll PM ya w/ my phone number.
In the meantime it's an open invite if anyone else wants to rally one of Washington's prettiest class III canyons...

Absolutely! I love the Tilton, the more the merrier!
Give me a call tomorrow and you can carpool with me. We're gonna coalesce in Federal Way at 9:30. I'm coming from Mukilteo, so we'll figure out where along the parade route you can meet me...
My number is too oh s!x nine tree wun s|x for ate 6 (written that way to avoid bots... hopefully )

We'll be at the takeout around 11:30 is my guess... but in real time that prolly means noon...
I can shuttle 3 people by myself all along the parade route down...
I really like riding my motorized bicycle too, so if JP and his buddy break off of the group we can set shuttle for them. They're driving... I am bringing my bicycle (was gonna solo it so this is great!)

How was the Tilton run and level? The level looked like it dropped quick today, what level(s) did you guys end up with?

Solid medium I'd say, two great play waves were really in...
I love that run, plenty of water... The logjam on that island sucks a little now, its not dangerous really but the left side is really loose and ya fall through trying to walk on it. The right side apparently requires a spiderman move... The first time the river raises all the loose flotsam should leave...
There's lots of cool trash in it though, I got a my little pony that rode under my front grab loop all the way to the end of the lake. Get some!

It was a fun day, thanks for taking me out and showing me some of the lines! I was glad the my little pony didn't have to rescue me at all.

There were plenty of Bald Eagles, and no didn't see any fish this time... In the past I have though.
Anybody know about that run? Are they lake locked salmon?

no they move the salmon up past the resevoir I don't know how many they plant but each year they do that. The Tilton gets a pretty fair return each year.
