   Topic: green gorge tomorrow?
Posted: 28 Sep 2013 at 5:00pm |
|
Anyone want to take some first timers down the Green (upper gorge) tomorrow? Everything else seems huge, would this one be fun at 800?

i saw your other post about wanting to do some III - IV and want to let you know that I'd be down to hit the MM tomorrow. Rather to do something with some water than bumping and scraping. Let me know what you think.
Only caveat is I'd prefer to meet at noon, I wanna pick up a Burn demo and CPS doesn't open till 11.

MM is going wrong direction for my taste/akill. I'd prob only be up for it at under 3k and I doubt its going that direction by tomorrow. Let me know if you change your mind about green. Noon is fine w me

Upper Green is pretty low at this flow, though it has been run much lower. I'm interested, though (and know the run well, but wood is unknown so we'd be tiptoeing in spots). I'm hoping they'll bump it up a bit, weather like this sometimes provokes it. If it goes 1250-1400, it's all about P'n'p Paradise.

well im gonna go ahead and create a who wants to do the MM thread. but if I dont get any takers I'd be down. I'd like to get on something. They'll probably release a little more water if it keeps raining like this. Wanna give me your number and we can be in touch in morning?

Chris, I hate you. My season is winding down and it'll be snowing soon in MN, and the Green is just about ready to start running. It's depressing. Ok, so I don't hate you but I DO hate the lack of boating staring me in the face.

We miss you out here, too. Heard you left a boat out here for visits, yes? We opened the season today on the Lower, some new wood and it's potentially in play if one takes certain lines. Could be bad, but probably ok. Maybe I'll add an alert.....
Cave Wave really is just that much fun!
Ummmm, oh, yeah, to the guys thinking of tomorrow, I'm most likely in, but my attention is swayed while it's still warm if Paradise comes in.

Cool, I'll be open for whatever happens on the green, be it gorge run or PnP if it comes up (maybe followed by a run of the lower section). What time works? Noon is earliest I cab get there and later works too.

Noon works for me, but if it flows, I'd rather do an Upper/play combo than a play/Lower combo. Let's see how flows pan out, by the time you'll be headed out, the dam operators will likely have done what they're gonna do after the rain tonight.
Cheers!

Yeah, had one stashed there but I had to come out last December for some school stuff and brought it back. Don't worry though it's been put to good use. There's kick ass whitewater here in the spring, but then we've got one class IV option for the rest of the summer.

I was thinking around 2, but possibly could make 1. I have some commitments in the morning.

I'm not that motivated for it at this level. Been there, done that, and it's nice enough on a sunny day, but I'm just not inspired right now. Thought they were gonna give us more water. Maybe in a few hours, I've got all day. How bad do you want to get in there?

Just trying to get out. And trying to find something that would take some skill, but not dish out a beat down. I'll PM you my digits, so let me know if you feel like hitting it later today or some other time. Always good to go with someone who knows the run as I am new to boating in PNW.

Yeah, Green is wayyy too low. It can actually serve more beat downs at these Elf flows- a lot more pin potential, too.
The Middle Middle, on ghe other hand, should fit the bill nicely today. I think I am heading out there later. It has good water- still over 4,000 cfs. Not off the hook, just good clean Deepwater class III+.

What time are you thinking JP? It's raining here now so I think everything is primed for another bump. Limp wrist looked a bit low for my taste this morning but that should come up too. Are they diverting water out of the south fork? I need to get dialed in on these gauges

Not sure about diversion (S. Frk). I doubt it but I am fuzzy about the Snoq Zone these days.

Well, I was hoping for some more water in the Green, but just to test the waters (so to speak), anyone willing to do a Lower lap this afternoon? At this point we're looking at 12:30 or later.

I see they're releasing 1000 now - wish that had been in earlier today!

Any of you who know the river want to hit upper green gorge tomorrow around 430? Two first timers heading down if flow stays at 1000. PM me digits and we can hit it up. Chris, any chance you could make it?

Are you firm on the 1000cfs?
FYI it doesn't change much in difficulty between 1000 to, say, 1400. But it'll clean up immensely once you got at least 1200 in there. Some of those rock gardens are a little gnarly at the lower end (1,000-1,200)
If it gets up to 1300 or 1400, I might be down for a run. I know it extremely well. Let me know- send me a PM if you want ti exchange numbers.

That's pretty good JP. Ask for a bit more water and *POOF* There it is!
