Flood Stage Fright


Rain was forecast for this entire weekend. But watching the radar, it meticulously weaved its way up and past all the critical areas we were hoping it would hit... except the Cossatot. BAM!

Saturday morning a group of us headed to the river, expecting a typical springtime river expedition. As we approached the neighborhood, the river shot up to flood stage. Thank goodness for iPhones and on line river gauges! How did these guys do this 20 years ago?!
So I finally got to do a 'Blue Run' on the 'Tot. What a kick! I did it in a bran spankin' new Jackson Villein too, thank you Dave Holl from Kayak Instruct.com for letting me scratch up break in your new demo. Check out some pics of the trip here.
