I've missed a lot of trips with bros this year so far. Damn you home ownership.
Do you know Dan Fowlds? I paddled Golden with him two weeks ago.
Yeah, he's solid. He grew up in Grangeville and lives down here now. I haven't paddled too much with him though.Quote:

Well, the levels bumped up above 300 on Sunday and were a bit high for that section (at least for us). We opted to do the last 3 miles of the West Fork till we hit CC. We cut a few logs out here and there and it is good to go. At high flows it is worth hitting up. Fun non-stop 4+/5- super fast boogie water with about three eddies the whole way.
From what I've heard, the main run was good to go as of two weeks ago.
RIP to Adam Barron who drowned on Vallecito this weekend.
Did not know him, but such a tragic event. RIP.:frown: :frown:Quote:
