64 - 10/18 - Middle Middle and Club Stretch

The Middle Fork Snoqualmie can be very flashy this time of year. All week, we had just enough rain to get the flow up to just below good kayaking levels, and then a night of rain brought it up to a good rafting level just for the day. With the flow peaking at 1900 cfs, a group of us decided to run rafts and catarafts on an extended run of both the Middle Middle and Lower Middle (Club Stretch).

We put in around 1PM and pushed down the river. I would have liked a little more water, but dealing with rocks is good practice. I had solid runs on all of the rapids, and I got a couple of nice surfs.

By the next morning, the flow was down to under 1000cfs and dropping. Another lucky weekend.
