Whitewater Forum : Boulder Drop - New Feature

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jPSubject: Boulder Drop - New FeaturePosted: 09 Dec 2015 at 6:12pmWell its fun to be alarmist. But FEAR NOT!! THE NEW WOOD IS NOT IN PLAY or most likely not for most boaters in most circumstances. In the upper left corner of Bdrop is a section most boaters never venture into. I refer to it as the Boulder Terrace, because a band of furniture sized boulders backs up that pool on the left....

Whitewater Forum : Boulder Drop - New Feature

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jPSubject: Boulder Drop - New FeaturePosted: 09 Dec 2015 at 6:16pmThat left side looked good to go at 49,000cfs today. It has cleaned up substantially! Wood used to be stuffed all up through what us Sky guides at Alpine called "the Enchanted Forest". Not much forest left there- floods stripped it pretty clean. Too early to start settling into the "New Bdrop" I guess, haha

Whitewater Forum : Boulder Drop - New Feature

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jPSubject: Boulder Drop - New FeaturePosted: 09 Dec 2015 at 1:47pmOk probably a bit alarmist- lookin at the crappy photo i got, it looks like that tree will likely be way out of play at normal flows. It might choke up the Sunset Slot though (ask Harms if you don't know where that is). We'll see damn Mama Sky is a Powerful and Mighty Godess! We gotta honor her by showing up next tuesday ...

Unless we get yet another monster flood, it looks like we'll be sharing Bdrop with a new resident of the Dead Ent variety.
