The rain arrived with a vengeance and brought some of the rivers way up. I hadn't been planning to run, but some people wanted to practice on the SF Snoqualmie, and since it's so close I couldn't help myself.
The logistics of this trip was a bit of a nightmare, and I'm going to take this opportunity to clear the air about something. There are some people who think they are being "laid back". They complain that other people are "in a hurry" and should just relax. In my opinion, these people are just plain rude. I'm not in a hurry - I'm just efficient. It doesn't take me forever to blow up my boat and get it ready. I leave the house at least partially dressed to get on the river, or I arrive early so I have a little extra time to change. If you can't get to the meeting place on time, get your stuff together, and get going quickly, don't waste everyone else's time. I do not find it pleasant to hang around a parking lot. I want to get on the river.
Anyway, one good thing about this trip is that I got to try out an 11x20 Sotar Legend, and I decided to order one this size. One other bad thing about this trip was that I was testing out my recently-repaired drysuit and didn't check the relief zipper. Luckily, I didn't swim and I didn't get wet until the very end of the trip. Ugh.
