Topic: Friday Upper Green Posted: 16 Apr 2014 at 8:43pm |
Hey, I'm trying to get a jump start on plans for Friday. I've got Friday off so it would be great to set something up. I can be out there anytime. I can probably do a couple of runs. I need to be done and heading home by 5pm

I would be down for a lap around 3 or 4pm. Six is a little later than I want.

Oscar,
I left you a message. A friend and I are psyched to paddle tomorrow. He lives in West Seattle and I am down in Olympia. He has my gear. If the Green doesn't go crazy, we might be up for that. Most graphs are heading straight up. MM might be a good option. If things go huge Nisqually is a great option. I'll be up early checking levels and left my number . If anyone else wants to join I'll check this post in the AM. Plan is to squeeze in a run before traffic get crazy.

3pm sounds good. Is FG the fishermans Putin? How about paradise instead so we don't have to backtrack for shuttle?

but what about the lost miles? . Thats almost 6 miles of paddling from paradise to Flaming Geyser state park ,and if we meet at 3 there is not much chance of a second lap on the Upper ,with shuttle reset and all. Call me a whiner but more river miles are good miles

@rshingle, Paradise is the takeout for the upper gorge and the fishermans putin is the putin for it.
@Mr.Grinch, I really wish i could stick around for ya man, but I'll need to be heading back into town by then.
I personally would like to do laps on the upper, especially if it's big water. I'm hoping we see around 3K or higher on the flows. Chances of that actually look pretty good.
But, the bottom line is that I just want to get out and do some paddling, so I'll run whatever if it comes down to it. Keep posting y'all until we nail something down. Peace!

This is the upper fun level for me. If my pal with my gear is up for it I say we meet around 11AM @ the takeout for the upper. I do not want to sit in Friday traffic.

Tilton is in as well. I am not sure if that would be a wise option as I have heard there is some wood and a tricky mandatory portage and I am not sure where that is.
