     If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

   I'll be around. Sorry if I havn't been reachable so much by phone. Just not in a reception friendly zone lately. But I will be around the 1.5' White Salmon this weekend.
   
Yeah it's low, but Orletta is still good, if a bit bony in sections. Recently while hiking into the Orletta we found some strange tapeworm-like beings in a stagnant pool in the dried up creekbed. Bryce pulled one out of the pool with a stick to check it out, and he might have killed it. I'm telling you this because we believe he may have inadvertently started an intergalactic war. Still, it's a pretty section of river and there's some good 'lil boofs in there these days. Right below one of them we saw a large beaver inside a deep cave. 
  
Not Truss'n it so much these days though. Watch the "Elbow Basher" rapid if you go in there- more people are walkin it now. Big Bro, too. 
  
Hussum Falls isn't so big and mean, although I did see a kayaker get trashed in there last sunday. Lots of people are wigged out by the fact that it's different this season.

   Orletta is sweet, though I'm a little worried about hiking in there now that we have an intergalactic battle going on. Oh well, just set the phasers to kill. 
  By putting in below lower Zig Zag, you get to run some good class 4ish bolder gardens and 1 big waterfall if you up for it, but you miss the more intimidating stuff up stream. You're below the springs, so there is decent water, but you still get the narrow canyon "creeky" feel of green truss.
  That being said, its good to hear from you JP, and there are a few of us who are tossing around the idea of heading your way this weekend.
