Planning on heading to the Great White North for the weekend. Leaving the Seattle area around 5:30ish (ha! Kayakers organized and ready to leave on time! Tell me another joke!) and hope to be heading north through Tulalip by 7:00pmish. This seems like a convenient place to meet up, but if anyone has a better idea, let me know. From there it's on to Sqauamish for some III-IV+ runs depending on what suits the group. Hoping to do some climbing in the Smoke Bluffs as well. Get your passports out and lets hit the road!  ------------- "What could possibly go wrong?" www.flickr.com/photos/jeffdwyer/ |

I'm in for a run one evening or morning. I'll be in whistler anyway riding downhill. We are camping at the CalCheck campground right on this run:

It's a nice campground right on the river but no showers. Bring your bug spray!

We're hoping to be on the road earlier on friday night, possibly meeting in Tulalip around 5:30pm. If anyone else is seriously considering meeting up with us, lets try to make this happen... ------------- "What could possibly go wrong?" www.flickr.com/photos/jeffdwyer/ |

I am hanging local this weekend but its worth mentioning that the Elaho Gauge was broken for a while and it just got re-calibrated. The level is at 98 CMS right now which is pretty sweet for most of the stuff up in that zone. Have fun guys .... what an amazing place! ------------- |
