Last weekend the crew decided it was time, time to take on a task that kept at least me waking up every 20 minutes the night before in anticipation and stress. A run famous for beat downs, difficulty and general awesomeness. We come to the stressful conclusion it was time for the little white.
Saturday was Portlands first 80+ degree day of the year, and in retrospect was the day we should have gone out. When Chris checked the gage on Saturday it was around 3.2 which was highest we wanted to do. None of us having been down, the consensus we hear is we want 3.0-3.2 for a first time run. The warm weather brought the flows up overnight and when we arrived it had jumped to 3.6. We talked and decided, "um, we could put on but that would probably be stupid for our first time down."
Here we are on Sunday at the put-in for the little white and deciding not to do it. After some deliberation we decided to head for Rock Creek. Some of the crew had not run it before and heaven and hell was calling us. So rock creek, it was not the little white, but it was still a great day on the river. Hell may be the best waterfall I have ever run, and I even missed the good line.
Enjoy the video
