   This is the Yotes's 2nd Annual Birthday Creekin' Weekend discussion thread. Please post any questions below. Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Yotes's 2nd Annual Birthday Creekin' Weekend | Trip Page We're doin it again this year. Runs will be decided based on flows, but we'll be basing it around the Lewis drainage again. Anyone have any suggestions for camping? |

   I'm in, hoping not to crack a boat again this year.  Should be good flows around then.

   You all can camp in my backyard. No really. It's huge 1/3 acre  in Portland. 'bout 45 minutes from EF Lewis.  The strip club next door has 6$ steak and egg breakfast. If we get really nutty, we can kayak Johnsons Creek. I think you can skirt the shopping cart on river left... Call me, I still don't have internet at home. Samaurai Mike 206-335-8561  |

   Yotes, you better start doing your rain dance man!  Less than two weeks.  We need something to happen.  You have any ideas for a contingency plan if EFL and CC fall through?

   Lanson,
   The forecast is for rain all next week, hopefully its enough.   How about Hood River for a fall back?    Praying for rain! | 
 
  | 
     Sure?

Truss is in at good levels from what I hear.  sounds sweet as a plan b!  
 I understand the wood below dragon's back is worse, possibly unpassable at higher flows, and not obvious from the pool above dragon's back (via pdx list) ... keep it safe in there!

   I'm in.
 Yotes, don't ask for a new guitar, mountain board, or even a new kayak for you birthday.  Just ask for rain!

   I'm up for whatever.  I'm just looking to have a fun weekend and to run whatever.  If it rains it'll open up a lot of options.    |

   I just wanted to confirm that my schedule is clear that weekend, and I am in.  I can probably get two other boaters/creek boats in my Truck (the rack is being built, though).  I think Hood River makes sense for a fall back, but hopefully the rain will come...
