Drove up the Sky drainage at 3 p.m., with the river cranking all the way east up Highway 2, waterfalls pitching off the granite cuts along the roadside. At 3 pm, the level was 55k. Couple of hours later, it's now at 70+k. Maybe at work some further rearrangement of the new features in BD.

So I haven't been getting enough saddle time all fall- I did two long distance floodstage lowland runs (41mi Big Eddy to Everett and 29mi Swede Heaven to Alington), plus about 3 garden variety class III-IV runs. Got no drysuit, sore back, oh- and I didn't pack my balls w/ the rest of my gear. Got all the way up the Sky drainage, went through the checklist...

Boat, paddle, skirt, helmet, pfd...no balls

After I ran shuttle for a coupla boaters who were flirtin w/ the Flooded Foss, they opted to join me on the Beckler to wind things down.

I was just gonna have them drop me off didnt think theyd be interested in the beckler, but they tacked on the run out of The Rapid under the bridge there. I put in on the Beckler.

It was cranking. The sky was 30-40k at that point spiking hard. We were all pleasantly surprised to find a lively but manageable flow.

It spilled into the woods here and there but was mostly contained, if bursting bank full. It seemed to want to funnel and fold in on itself, but mostly still had a very open class II-III aesthetic. Simple wavetrains.
But it was feature laden enough to be fun. These features were sparse singular class IV crashing waves and holes that were easy to spot in advance and dodge, although some require strong paddling to avoid with a wide margin.

The section just below the Rapid confluence is briefly busy and reads more like the class IV it probably is. Its enough to make you read what coming at you and stay on your toes.
The riverbed is very wide and flat though, so much of the way it is just a freight train of class II+ that hulls ass. There's a few holes most paddlers will want to miss.
Obviously since its running at floodstage swimming is not good. We did have a last second scramble to portage a large riverwide logjam. As far as mobile wood, there were only a scant few sticks branches and chunks. You wanna rumble w/ the 40-60' class you gotta go down to Bdrop.
After the Bridge there's that rapid you can see on the way up. A few medium small boulders chunk up the center w/ pourovers of respectable size, easily avoided left or right. We took out at the HWY 2 bridge. Its probably about 8mi and took an hour maybe less. Been wanting to do this run- perfect "floodstage express" flow!

I recommend this run at this flow (30-40k) for any competent class IV boaters who have bomber rolls. 25k on the sky would be wayy more reasonable too. It will boat like class III for class IV-V paddlers, and for class III paddlers, the run will feel like IV+, being big, pushy, and powerful. Its kinda like the Loony Toons cartoon when Tweety Bird becomes a giant monster. Its a giant monster, but its still Tweety Bird. Just dont swim. Strong boat driving skills and a keen eye are a must.

Its a good option if everything is super high but you want some casual fun. A great way to taste the power of flood without some of the risks and complexities found on normal whitewater runs. The beckler is a simple and plane fairly flat riverbed, wide enough to dodge wood and other hazards.

I'm free, but the only way I'm dragging myself out of bed that early is to paddle. :P

So if you're willing to go boating after and someone else can shuttle, carpooling would work for me.

I'm heading up from Kirkland Megan, would be happy to carpool if that works out. Thanks to all who are willing to participate, I totally understand that some people have jobs that do not allow for taking off on a weekday morning and I think it's lame that these type of meetings often take place during regular work hours, but unfortunately that is when some of the big decisions about the places we love are made. Anyone north of Kirkland reasonably on the way to Everett I'm happy to pick up.
