So what if I've paddled the Washougal 3 times in the last 5 days? Saturday I wanted to check out the portage at Big Eddy. Sunday we did the OKCC Intermediate Trip as described in the post at http://okccinfo.blogspot.com/ Check it out for the video if nothing else. I'm learning more about the best way to use my Pentax Optio. It is great but, like most everything, not perfect.
Sunday I ranged far afield and paddled from the Bull Run powerhouse to Oxbow. Bull Run was pretty big at 1,150 cfs. Fun, but Swingset had BIG waves. The Sandy was, well, Dodge to Oxbow.
Today, we just boated down from MP 7. At 5.29' on the WASW1 gauge, it's starting to feel low. There was still action at the Helicopter Wave, but the most fun was all the eddy hopping. Russ is recovering from his wrist injury and is looking good.

Tomorrow I leave for a John Day weekend. I'm rowing and the kids are canoeing. It should be exciting, with almost 8,000 cfs in the river. I'm looking forward to hiking during a layover day and just plain relaxing in the sun. Maybe I'll see again how much fun it is to solo my Explorer.
