Upper Spokane River
Barker to Sullivan
Gordon, Jillian, Megan, Mike Wooten
1400cfs

Slow and boney, but still totally fun. I got stuck on a rock in upper S-turn and again at the top of Flora, but that is to be expected. Fun, technical, easy. Lovely hot weather.

Just a trickle through Split Rock at this level, but Gord and Mike ran it anyway. : )

Monday, July 19th

Wow. Wow. Wow. It's been a loooooong time since we've been on the river. What happened? Well, we got into biking. Some of our favorite boaters left town. We got lazy?

In any case, it felt sooooo good to be back on the river! Sunshine, warm water, no swims, a fun group! We are going to try to keep a standing monday night paddle going the rest of the summer (river willing).

Jilian, Gordon, Megan, Kent, Bettie Ann

Upper Spokane

6500cfs, Mini Climax looked awesome. Meagan forgot her helmet and Drew ran the stretch without one. Curtis refused to roll. Meagan swam at the take out and gave me the glare of death when I teased her about it. Later we had drinks at her new place.

Okay, last week Gordon ran the lower with Leah at 5000
Week prior ran the St. Maries with Kent, Terri, Mike, Gordon- Terry swam, Mike and Kent fought at the take-out.

OPEN POOL!!

Jillian and Gordon!
There were only about 5 of us in the pool, so there was a lot of space! Jillian worked on her roll, combat rolling, and off-sides (which is still gone at this point). Gordon worked on his cartwheel.

Stopped off at Fish Lake to look at the sparkly stars on the drive home. : )
