   Topic: OK Boulder Drop. Its TIME.
Posted: 18 Jul 2007 at 11:17am |
All right guys, I'm feeling ballsy. It's Boulder Drop this weekend, or I won't forgive myself. Who would be up for it on Friday. Morning, afternoon, evening, whatever. ![]("smileys/smiley10.gif") Weide? I don't think you have to work.... The disco helmet might make an appearance, for good luck....

I could do Friday morning. Jason is hounding me to paddle. I'll pop my Boulder cherry too. Maybe we should have some real kayakers around to catch our gear?

Let me know when you decide to go. Maybe I'll take the day off and join you, I have not ran the Sky in far too long.

Ashley-

Giddyup, I think I'm in. Probably could be up for trying BD as well - I've never even scouted it as I've been waiting since mid-March for levels to finally come back down to even consider running it.

Is anybody in that actually knows the line?? I might be in with my 14 yr olds. We just spent 9 days on the Rogue and my boy is WAY over my head now. Can anyone compare the BD line with Blossom Bar?

I know the line. I've never run it, and I wouldn't recommend anyone follow me completely, but I'm not going to be following anyone, I don't believe. My dad should be meeting up with me, and whoever else for a second lap at one- ish. He's run BD more times than I can even remember.

I will most likely be there. I know the line well and would be glad to show your son down. Although I have not done blossom bar, I get the impression from other people I have talked to that BD will be more difficult. Scout it first and then you will know for sure!

Camrun,
I haven't run Boulder Drop but, perhaps will for the first time on Friday.
I ran Blossom Bar during our Rogue River trip last year - which was on our 8th day ever in a kayak. IMHO, Blossom is an easy class 2 move (albeit with serious consequences for missing). I get the impression (from watching many others run it) that BD will be significantly harder.
Guess I'll know for sure on Friday.

I don't think you guys will have any problem with boulder drop at this level. It's very friendly right now with lots o eddies.

Hey yall, I'll be on it at 10 am, I'm still getting used to my new boat but I know the lines and the more people the better. These levls are forsure freindly ! I hope people want too put in at cable drop. The confluece just ain't the best starting point. I like more rapid's and I can not lie ! Any way Anybody that isn't sure of cable can meet us ,or me, at the confluence. Let's do it !!!

Woohoo, Chuckie, Arn, KTW, this should be fun.
Camrun, this is a strong group, plenty of people to show you the line. Hopefully we do laps and hit a few lines.

Just want to say congrats to the folks who ran BD for their first time today. It is awesome that you guys can now run the sky straight through if you feel like it. =) Congrats.
