Whitewater Forum : Comment Period has Closed. Now What?	Author: megspk Subject: Comment Period has Closed. Now What? Posted: 28 Apr 2016 at 7:12pm *Originally posted by JoesKayak* If not, the next stage we'll really need to reach out to other recreational groups. The anglers and the hikers especially. We are a small group. Those groups are much much bigger and have the same interest as us in keeping rivers and other natural places unspoiled. You are correct on this! I didn't notice a lot of voice or presentation at the meeting I went to from fisherman or other outdoor enthusiasts outside kayakers. One of the best letters I read on FERC was from a local outdoor lover than mentioned the surrounding hikes and beauty. I have been very narrow-minded in my thinking about saving the rivers. We definitely need to reach out to the hikers that love Lake Serene and the other places accessible by the same access road as the project. We also need to push the Index loving crowd that includes our rock climbers and boulderer's that climb right at Boulder Drop. Snowboarders and skiers not being able to get to Steven's Pass to ride because of huge delays in traffic, would be another group I didn't think to target. We will have to remember them if the fight continues on, but I truly hope FERC realizes how important and beautiful the Skykomish river is and stops the project.

Whitewater Forum : Comment Period has Closed. Now What?	Author: megspk Subject: Comment Period has Closed. Now What? Posted: 28 Apr 2016 at 7:04pm *Originally posted by jP* To succeed with that effort is going to require involvement from us. So this is the answer to the question in the title of this thread "What Now?" Not that its gotta happen right-the-FERC-Now!, but it needs to happen. This is abzurd (say that w/ a british accent- that's why the z is there. FERCin Brits! When are they gonna learn to speak English, anyway?) JP! I just want to say again THANK YOU for working so hard on this! If it weren't for your encouragement, I don't think FERC would have gotten nearly the number of comments that it received. I have ready MANY of the letters from residents, whitewater enthusiasts, general river lovers and dam/hydroproject haters, the local Native Tribes, and even our National Park Service. I was impressed at many of the letters and the definite effort that was made. There were some real heart wrenchers in there and some awesome in your face factual stuff that is key. I would have to say the majority of the letters were against the hydroproject happening or addressed the fact that SNOPUD still has yet to answer many of the same repeated questions about the water levels and accurate information on the how it will affect the fish population and how much power this thing can actually provide for the cost it will take to build and maintain. I didn't read all the letters, but I never read one that was for it. I'm not sure how to go ahead on the doing the next step. There's still some questions to be answered and people to talk to, but I am IN on making that happen!! We gotta get the Sky protected so these types of permits are null and void. Are there are other rivers out there that need our help too? I am local to the PNW since 2012, but I am still learning about all the rivers and watersheds here. I'd love to learn more about how to get engaged in helping the rivers of Washington stay the way they are or working towards an improved state of being (i.e. dam removals, habitat clean ups, etc). I think education is the key, especially when we are trying to get our non whitewater eco friends to join the crusade! Again thanks JP!!! I really think everyone made a dent in the SNOPUD's project advancement!! Thanks to everyone that submitted a comment, no matter how big or small. Just letting FERC know that people out there are aware of what's going on is important.	Professor Paddle	Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Whitewater Forum : Bulkhead replacement?	Author: tiziak Subject: Bulkhead replacement? Posted: 28 Apr 2016 at 10:10pm Anyone have 2 cents to spare? Do the pros of ripping out your boats bulkhead and replacing it with foam outweigh the headache involved? Is the weight really that different when you have 16 inches of foam up there? Is it worth it? Anybody kitted out their sick-ass Mambas with foam?	Professor Paddle	Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Whitewater Forum : Bulkhead replacement?	Author: jP Subject: Bulkhead replacement? Posted: 28 Apr 2016 at 11:18pm Dude nobody comes round here nomore- just look at my threads-twenty posts of me having a convo w/ myself. How are you today, jP? Pretty good, jP howbouchu?...was it something I said? Everything I said? Megan and Joe and Irene chime in once in awhile so I can save face but you know when I come along you're bound to get buried beneath a dumptruck full of pennies. fukin sht costs more to produce than its worth! Haha seriously though- why do you want to? Weight savings? I hate to say it but I'm just not as opinionated as I used to be. #Lie When I got the Shiva I took Darren's advice and taped the handles of two milk jugs together and jammed them in front of my bulkhead for floatation/filler. Not sure about the results or if that adressed your (?) Prolly leaks by now tho so maybe thats an unwanted weight INCREASE. Without literally weighing both alternatives on a scale hard to tell. I bet its negligible and I am starting to get less motivated each time so I don't think its worth the hassle. I had a good ten year streak where I could entertain myself for awhile trash talking the failings of these boats outfitting, but since 2011 I've had to shut up about that because the average boat is pretty damn sophisticated. I guess it comes down to the needs of high impact stress? I'm definitely more concerned about weight since I be portaging anything requiring more rigorous impact standards. What are the bro bras saying who foam sh*t out? If I was gonna undertake such a project I would do a cross hatch of one inch thick strips over laid and stacked to give you some shock absorption but i love to bear down on my boat when I paddle and push hard at times w/ my feet so my question is if you'd end up w/ the equivilent of those shocks on bike seats when you see some gaper riding a mtn bike hard down mainstreet, ass bouncing up and down- lots of energy lost there in that seat post shock. Anyway I saw that cross hatch idea on you tube and admired it. The cross hatch strips of minicel were glued to...mighta been two layers of 3" cant remember. If only you could do it as fast as the guy in the video! He must be one of those guys I see in all those kayak videos- how do those guys walk so damn fast all the time? I must be gettin old. Well prolly doesnt even adress your question. Good luck digging out from under them pennies Edited by jP - Today at 11:25pm	Professor Paddle	Washington, Oregon and vicinity
