Priest River!! (Double Run)

CFS 2600

Sherri, Duke, Kent, Curtis, Megan, Gordon, Jillian, Terry, Susan, Pat, Ken, Doug, Chris, and Bob

This was our "goodbye Duke and Sherri" trip. It was awesome! This was our first time on the Priest. It is a short, fast run, so if you go, you gotta do a couple runs in a row. There is only one major rapid, called Bernard's Rapid. The clean run is right-center. There are two room-sized holes on the left-center run, but they are doable.

We had a great barbecue afterwords : ).

Upper Spokane, Barker Bridge to Sullivan Park
1540 cfs (yay it went up! [barely])

Sherri Warner and Jillian

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold!! It was about 49 degress outside. We stayed warm while on the river, but when we got out, changed, and loaded our boats up, I thought my fingers were going to freeze right off! I must remember to bring warm, dry glove to put on after boating from now on.

Sullivan Wave is pretty delicious right now, but as cold as it is, it's hard to want to stay and surf for long.

A beautiful, sunny, windy day. It was very chilly, but we dressed for it. We're all still looking forward to a couple more 100 cfs.

The Uppper Spokane 10/01/09

CFS: 1500ish? Felt a little higher than it has been in awhile. We are maybe losing hope in the CFS readings....

Barker to Sullivan
John Henry, Leah, Gordon, Jillian, Duke

A very nice run!! It was cold, but we were dressed for it this time. Flora was an absolute dream. Sullivan is a bit steep at this level (whatever the hell the level is...) but should even out and become delicious with a few more hundred CFS.

The Upper Spokane River

Barker to Sullivan
09/29/09 Tuesday
CFS: I don't know, maybe around 1500, but it all seems the same right now: Bony as hell! (but fun!)

Leah, Gordon, Jillian

John ran our shuttle for us and rode his bike along the Centennial Trail taking photos. Will post them if I ever get ahold of them (ahem, ahem).

Oh, and it was very cold! My first run where it actually felt like fall. It's time to up the gear, that's for sure.
