I'll be at split rock at 11.

Anyone interested in running the Beckler? Should be a good level for a quick easy trip. Just throwing it out there. I still have never done it.

Also I bet the headwaters of the Sfk sky would be fun- from the Foss/Tye confluence down to hwy 2.

I'll be at split. PPeeps can also call/text
941-445-1638

This is my last online interaction though. Call me if interested or just show up at split.

JP it's nice to see you back on the forum! I have missed your insight :) How was the Beckler? Can't wait to paddle with you sometime!

Maybe, just maybe, these floods have knocked out all that wood lodged in the lower Tye run. It'd be great to have that section back after all these years.
Catch your eddies,

The Lower Tye has been run in the last couple years. Last year, there was a line through the main drop with a portage of the last rapid before the take-out....

yeah ahe segment of which you speak is mostly runnable. (Lower Tye). Another chunk I want to explore next time its flooding is the Upper Upper South Fork Sky. That's from the Foss/Tai confluence down to HWY 2 bridge (look for the 'Merican flag). Better acces may be found at the next bridge downstream, though, by the Beckler Confluence.

Speaking of the Beckler, I didnt end up going. By sunday I was satisfied with my weekend's accomplishment.

Saturday BP joined me for my long awaited Big Eddy to Everett trip. I have always wanted to complete this 41mi trip in a day. It was about 32,600cfs when we launched at Big Eddy, and took us about 4.5hrs of steady paddling. We did float some once we figured out we were averaging 10mi/hr. It was casual and I would do it again knowing that strong current delivered us all the way to the take out. Only breifly at the Snohomish Confluence where the Sky and Snoqualmie join did the water seem sluggish and static. It picked up immediately below the 522 bridge though. I won't go on about it here but there will be a bump on my other thread.
