36 - 5/17/2012 - Middle Middle

The snowmelt really brought the river up, and we considered running the SF Snoqualmie, but we decided that the 2500 cfs flow was within our range. There were 3 IKs, a raft, and a couple of catarafts on the trip. Most of the trip was just the usual fun class III, and we played around quite a bit. At Right Angle Drop, it was time to concentrate. I ran the center line there, and ran the far right at Entry. Once in House Rocks, the Goal Posts was a very small drop, but the main drop was much bigger than normal, with a breaking wave in it. The second half of House Rocks was easier for me, but one person went over the little rock on the right and had to really dig out of the hole. The next rapid ("3 Holes") was pretty big, but that just allowed us to practice bigger water moves.

I'm looking forward to a run at a slightly higher level in the near future.
