Hello, we're new to this site as users... We'll be leaving Vancouver, BC June 21 for a road trip trough Washington. Looking to paddle Class 4 creeks, but we'll have our playboats as well. Thinking of the Wind, White Salmon (Farmlands), E. Fork of the Lewis (falls section). We're open to any playruns like the Tilton, White Salmon (BZ corner down), etc... Also anyruns between BC and the above on the way or on the way back. Looking for buddies especially the week of June 22-27, then we may (or may not) be back up to BC for the last weekend of our vacation.

We'd really appreciate having locals along especially for the creeks. Please let us know if you're interested in any river/creek and what days would work for you.

Rock on. I'm available for all kinds of weekday boating. I should be around at least part of that week. I'd like to stick close to the Seattle area, but there will be all kinds of great creeking in the Skykomish drainage.

Like OB said... Skykomish drainage, Nooksack drainage (Clearwater Creek), Wenatchee if you can, Cooper, Cle Elum should be good as well on the way south.

Yeah, I paddle with Rockarolla a lot, and I anticipate being in the Wenatchee area when you swing through. Icicle Creek is awesome, and has many good sections to offer solid class IV paddlers, and a fair amount of  V as well. Depends on water levels.

EFL is at about 500cfs today, I have scraped down it at that level several times, but anything lower you'll be walking.  Bu next week I see it to be in the 300's.  Sunset falls would be good to toss around on to get wet for a bit.

Hey Dave and OB and others,
 
so it looks like we'll be leaving sunday afternoon after a local paddle or monday morning looking to paddle monday.
 
Is anyone available to paddle a nice class IV creek around Index or before (on our way from the border) ? We may not be on the internet again depending were we paddle tomorrow, so we'll give you (Dave and OB) a call once across the border sunday or monday to make plans...
 
Annie
 
Note : NOT looking for class V
