I had originally expected this to be the first day of a 10-day IK trip that would mostly be in Oregon. However, between the recent warm weather and the run that followed, all of the rivers we wanted to run looked like they were going to be too high (and this turned out to be true as the days progressed), so we decided to put off the trip until July.
The Middle Middle, which would have been our usual choice, was running 3700 and rising, and the only person who wanted to boat was an IKer friend. So, we did another day on the SF Snoqualmie. The flow was slightly higher than the day before, and the weather was quite different. When we got there, we had sunshine. By the time we were in the rapids, it was cloudy and dark. 10 minutes later, we were pelted by rain and hail, followed by thunder and lightning. This was another very quick run.
