Lower, poo plant to kayaker take out

Very boney, but doable. Log in between the two rocks in the B&P
Excellent surfing between the B&P and the toenail, which we portaged. Drew and I were going to run it but we had no throw bag.

Jill's first time through the B&P!! Scary, but not too bad at this level. We portaged the D's T again. Jillian swam through a rocky bit just below the Toenail. Must have hit a rock or something. But didn't get too beat up :).

Gordon and Drew went back for a second run while Jill went home to make dinner.

The B&P is quite navigable at this level. Jillian ran shuttle and was jealous that she didn't paddle. The Toenail is not currently navigable (as you can clearly see below) unless you are incredibly talented or incredibly stupid, so we portaged there.

A nice morning run. Clouded up when we were out there. The river is very shallow, but the lower is still very runnable. Afterwards we scouted the B&P and DT just for fun : ).

A very rocky run, more like an obstacle course that kayaking, really. But very fun! Curtis surfed everything. Jillian got stuck backwards in S-Turn twice due to rocks. Good times.

We ran into Drew on a paid rafting trip along the way. He was taking a family of Texans down in a ROW raft. We had a great time chatting with them. The level is low, but ther are some fun play waves, especially on the lower half of the Upper Lower. Beautiful weather--96 degrees in downtown Spokane.

Bony as all get out. Dropped my keys in the drink at the take out :-( But recovered them after searching for a few minutes. :-)
