62 - 8/12/2011 - Middle Sauk

A few years ago, we started a tradition of doing an overnighter on the Sauk before the Skagit Poker Run, but for the past couple of years people haven't been able to make the overnighter, so we just do a day trip on Friday. Usually, the Middle Sauk is a bit low by this time of year, but this time we had plenty of water for small boats. I had my 11' cataraft for this trip.

The first rapid on the Middle Sauk is split by an island. The more fun run is on the left side of the island, but it has been blocked by a tree recently, so we had to run the more shallow right side.

I had a good run the whole way down. I ran the hard lines whenever possible and never had any difficulties.

After the run, we headed over to the Skagit. We would have gotten dinner locally, but the bar and grill we usually go to had closed down.
