anyone interested in running the cooper tomorrow? i have had my eye on it for some time and i need someone to go with that knows the lines since i haven't been down it yet.any interested parties? if no one is down we could get on something else.

The cooper will certainly come back up there is a good amount of snow up in those hills. I was out there all this last week. Got some river time every day except thursday. The inflow numbers are also heavy on the Cooper side now. So unlike that early season runs we were doing where the cle was givin a bit of water now it is mostly coming down the coop. This should be a pretty dang good coop year because it was not super hot days blowing the pack out... Have fun runs out there and keep an eye out for the new wood listed on the river page. (It is in the double ledge just above S-Turn). You basically run that little slide ledge into the pool then the next little slide has wood you will have to run left on hard against the wall and over the wood.

Post up if you're heading out there. Might have the day open and would like to hit it up if the flows are in the right range.

Ray the cooper is fine as long as it is not too much over 1200 cfs... at around 1600 it starts getting a little wild. The 2000 zone is where it starts getting to be a real rascal. Late season flows are always higher than early season flows because of where the snow is at. This monday I did a run at 2k and it felt more like a run well over 2k compared to earlier season flows.

i'd prolly go with you on Monday... anybody going Sat? 

I will definately go before the water runs out... hopefully a few times!

i will be there Monday as long as it doesn't get beefy

anyone heading out tomorrow morning from the Tacoma Seattle area?

just a heads up... did a lap yesterday (sunday) and it's low and dropping.  the heat this next week should bump things up some.  still lots of snow up high!
