I'd be up for the YoYo(Green) sometime Friday.
Paddlegirl... I can probably hook you up with a boat and gear easily enough. |

How about 10:30am? We can do a couple laps on the YoYo, then I may try to bop down the Lower Gorge or Headworks.
Surfing is good on Headworks these days. Anyone? Paddle Girl... I may or may not have a drysuit you can wear, but I certainly have drytop and neoprene pants type stuff. Helmets, paddle/pogies, skirt, pfd, creekboat/playboat/squirboat/canoe? If you wanna go, we can fix you right up. :-) If someone wants to carpool, I'm in the Central District. |

I talked to Dale earlier today and he's game, just waiting to hear back
from him.

Sweeeeeet! I'd love to go! Tricia are you willing to pick me up though?
I'm guessing this is class 2 since we have a newb? So in that case i'd love to paddle a playboat or a smaller river runner... as long as its a kayak I'm happy! I'm about 5.5 and 135? Will need some layers /neoprene if a leaky drytop... but my long undies are heavyweight. Do you have some shoes/booties? I can probably make something work if not. And tricia, they just called and said my car should be here by the 22nd or 23rd, so I should be able to drive us to la push! |

Yeah, i can pick you up... you have seen my g-force on fb no setup for the feet but the boat is there if you wanna use it. Though if splashdaddy has a set up boat for you with the skirt and all, that might work better.

Make that, you texted Dale earlier and I texted you back.
So much for your other paddler. We may have more company yet. The Central District is about a mile East of downtown Seattle. The put-in for the YoYo is at Flaming Geyser State Park. We can meet at the bridge, right when you enter the park. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=flaming+Geyser+state+park+wa&aq=&sll=47.15984,-120.234375&sspn=3.914515,10.755615&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=Flaming+Geyser+State+Park&hnear=Flaming+Geyser+State+Park,+Auburn,+Washington+98092&z=14 That's the spirit PaddleGirl. Skip, XXX or EZG60? Yes, it's easy class II but there is some decent, small surfing. It's a really short run. It's easy to take a short hike to scout everything before we put on and it's really short, so a couple laps is pretty easy too. Shoot me an email: acreekfreak at g mail dot com to work out the gear details. Dale |

It was awesomeous incarnate.
We ran the Lower Gorge and it was surf-o-rama... but surfing in the Headworks is better. :-) Will probably paddle something on Monday. |
