Here is a sample of how you should submit run descriptions.

Hey Moderator's .... I have a new description here it is.

Run: White Salmon 4 - BZ Corner to Buck Creek


-----------------------------------Add to Description ----------------------------
The river is beautiful, semi-clear milky water, lush vegetation, and a relatively remote feel. The rapids start right off the bat. Mosty class III and II+ stuff. Lots fun little ledges and some cool wave trains. One rapid to watch for at low water is Corkscrew. It should be run just right of center but you need to stay on your toes as there are several shollow rocks hidden in the waves that are tough to spot until you are right on them.

A note on Husum Falls, the guidebook gives it a V- at low water and a V at higher flows. It was running at around 550cfs for our run and in my opinion, it is not a class V at this flow. The enterance is easy, and hole at the bottom will flush you pretty quickly if you end up in it. I’d say it Class IV, and even then it is more intimidating than anything. That being said, it is a 10 ft drop so show it the respect it deserves. Also, the falls are just above the bridge in town which adds to the festive atmosphere. Lots of cheers from the spectators as you take the plunge of the falls.

Tom,

You really should feel honored, because I really appreciate your help. Sometimes it is cool to know that other people are ready to help out, so thanks. Thats why this is not my site, but our site. Me and you big guy.....no joking around.

I know I am always joking around, but I am serious right now.... no I take that back.... I was serious when I wrote that first bit, now I am full of BS again sorry my moments of clarity and reflection don't last very long these days.... there might be something wrong with me. I was going to see a shrink about it, but my bunion (joel) was first on the list....

Apparently Shrinks don't actually shrink anything.... when I introduced Joel to my therapist he shreaked and asked me to put my sock back on.... I even cleaned my toe nails before I showed up.

Uh, actually James, I hate to correct the professor, but I've posted a few trip
reports. Check out the Sky, Canyon Creek (Stilly), and the Green... However,
I know my contribution is less noteable since I am a "Professors's of the
Paddle" and no one notices what we do... ;-) Thanks for the beers the other
night... good to chat with you.

Jon,

I have to thank you for the beers... and next time its my turn.

If you write a review feel free to comment it at the bottom like I did for Tom, after all if you take the time to write it up, the least you should get is credit.

I think I posted a description of the skook, with logistics, tide and accommodation recommendations . Anyway, James, I think you suffer from the same affliction That torments me. It's called living life to the fullest, there is so much to do and experience that I just can't get enough of it and so I tend to massively multitask and attention tends to shift from moments of clarity and reflection, like an automatic transmition. Actually a shrink should come to us and learn how to enjoy life like we do.
