   Topic: Tuesday After Work Green
Posted: 14 May 2012 at 3:43pm |
|
I'm heading to the put in for the upper Green after work Tuesday. Would anyone like to join me. To be honest, I wouldn't mind surfing Paradise for a couple of hours. I keep hearing very good things about that wave at these levels (1400). I was in it at 1250 just the other day and was able to bust out a few tricks. But I had already tired myself out by running the upper so I didn't last long in Paradise.
However, if no one is up for that then I'd be more then happy to run the entire stretch. Traffic was rough the last time I went Paradise and I didn't get there until 5:15. So, I guess I can say that I'll be down there between 4:50 and 5:15.

If it comes up I may be in. Otherwise the mm is getting juicy and I would like to hit that up at over 3k.

Yes, what time? We can also car pool from my house if you want. I can bring my dirt bike for a shuttle in case no one else is in.

Yeah Dave- I'm meetin peeps on the MM tomorrow eve. I get done w/ work at 4:30. But I think its a later put on time, like 7ish. I'll get details and hopefully we can carpool. I got gas money, but a gas guzzling van.

Did someone say juicy? MM juicy! What!?
I'm still new around here so I haven't heard any hype about MM at all (or maybe I haven't been paying attention). What should I know about this run?
What are stellar levels? I'm starting to know plenty about upper green? Is MM more of a runoff river whereas green is controlled by a dam?

Check out the MM. MM at low flows is class three boulder gardens but at its current flow it is a bit more pushy with some nice waves and big holes. At over 3 grand I think the MM is more fun than the green at 1400.

The MM is a fun play run at these levels.
FITW is a great creek run right at the top of Snoqualmi Pass. Fall in the Wall, South Fork of the Snoqualmi.

Sweet. We have officially highjacked this thread 
You know that's the case when multiple individuals start planning to run the Middle Middle on a thread devoted to the Green.
Seriously, tho- this kinda sh*t isn't cool. Its not fair to those clicking on a thread about the Green wanting to run it then finding us all talking about the Mediocre Fork of the Snoqualmie.
(Shrug). Do as I say, not as I do...
Anyway, IMO no water level on the M&M is as good as any flow on the Green above 1600. The geology just isn't as sweet, no matter how you add water or take it away. I'm just hittin the MM tonight to return some gear to a buddy. Not sure about meet time tho-

I think the hi-jacking was hilarious. made for a more interesting thread. I was seriously going to run the MM but then, suddenly, water levels came up on the green and I started feeling a bit confused like dave (glad I wasn't the only one).
But! since this was originally a thread for running the green then I'll stick to the original plan. it's official, I'm making up my mind. I'll be at paradise around 5.
