The weather forecast undoubtedly suppressed turnout, but on game day the elements cooperated and 5 paddlers had an excellent run down to Stackhouse at 2000 cfs, with only a few minutes of light drizzle. Kathy Simes styled her personal first descent, and everyone had a good time at an excellent level. we coulda/shoulda gone down to run Frank Bell's (Plan A), but the forecast was for increasing rain and dropping temperatures so we opted to get off sooner.
Merridee and I upgraded our tent site at the camp ground for one of their cabins, and while it didnt snow along the river, the higher elevations got 2-3 inches overnight, and all the trees were white crossing the mountains on the drive home. A winter wonderland at the end of March!
