bobber Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 ..yes it was cold and windy, but when the river comes up you just have to go. we didn't see anyone all day! but did see some beavers, otters and the deer. one almost ran us over at the take-out, a 6 point just walked down to us about 5 feet away and then stopped to drink some water, we just stood still and watched in amazement! i think i could have knocked him out with my paddle ...BUT DIDN'T and on the way home the boxley valley was just lined with elk.... a great a day was had !! <*)))))))>< * AMERICAN CANOE ASSOCIATION CERTIFIED CANOE, and SWIFT WATER RESCUE INSTRUCTOR.*
ollie Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 I'm jealous. "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 15, 2007 Root Admin Posted December 15, 2007 I'd think the water level would have been good for floating. It was down?
bobber Posted December 16, 2007 Author Posted December 16, 2007 it was cookin'... we caught it at the 3.86 level ,i had my float bags pumped up, and my whitewater helmet on with full wet suite. it was great for 37 degrees ....never should have stopped for lunch though, thats when it got cold! after standing around .at the take out i fired up the old van heater to the max and never turned it off the whole way home, my feet are still cold! <*)))))))>< * AMERICAN CANOE ASSOCIATION CERTIFIED CANOE, and SWIFT WATER RESCUE INSTRUCTOR.*
