Thanks everyone for their input. I made a river alert that covers the wood hazards mentioned here. I took a pass on running it this past weekend... level got a little high for my tastes. Hopefully will get out there soon.

Im not sure when a drytop didnt cost this much. I can remember paying about that 11 years ago for an nrs top. Check craigslist and ebay. Always gear there.....

I've never paid that much for a dry top. They most certainly cost that much if you can afford that type of high dollar gear.

Given the location of a lot of the wood I would say that running it high will be less of a pain than running it lower. Some of the stuff that is just sticking out from the banks is where the deepest water is, making avoiding some of that stuff at lower flows a bit of a rocky chore.

The takeout or the Pull out on the eastbound lane? OAC is the landmanager of the take out so before you go spending money on gravel you might check with them first.

If your talking the pull out on on the east bound lane, that would be DOT territory so you mgiht not want to do it when someone would see you making repairs to state highway. Not really sure the rules around this sort of thing, but you might want to look into that before you find yourself having to explain yourself to the powers that be.

At the very least it's a project that needs to be done.

you could just repair the gasket on your existing dry top, it's something you can do after work and the drying time is only 12-24 hours. You can pick a gasket up from Cascade outfitters and there are several online videos for doing the repair.

If you're really concerned about cost do it this way. The repair isn't terribly difficult.

ditto on Tams, Reports are the Braap (enough A's?) is tough to squirt but is a fun boat for creeks. I paddled the Mullet recently and was impressed with the ease of squirting the stern despite the fact that it's basically a New Wave Sleek with a modern cockpit. the lack of an edge makes it not a boat I would really be into.

Either that or getting your hands on a RPM

Jed raises a good point. It's been done in the past by a good Samaritan community loving kayaker. I don't think it will be an issue if done quickly and quietly. Probably best to wait till after 4pm as most road crews are off by then. Local sheriff probably wouldn't say a word and but state patrol may react differently. I'll be glad to bring a couple shovels and lend a hand if someone can cart in the gravel.

I don't like the Thule ones, they leave a big gap:

Thule Racks look like this

Yakima ones spin down really quick and easy, just push:

folded down like this

You don't want big gaps, every inch counts!


Yakima! (scroll down, couldn't get to link)


I think Yakima are cheaper, I think the bars are stronger too.
