Whitewater Forum : Upper Sultan May 6th !!!!!!

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: Fun EliSubject: Upper Sultan May 6th !!!!!!Posted: 02 May 2017 at 11:36amPreferably meet up at the park and ride right off Hwy 20. There's more room to deal with moving around boats and gear and more parking too. Then all you need to do is drop a car at the fisherman's access and roll up to the put in. Meet up at ~8:30 and start running shuttle at ~9am. See you there. -Eli
