I'm up for that.  Water is stupid high right now, some of the fields around here are underwater.

Went today. Level was 22.5, but gauge only goes up to 22--it was completely underwater.

McKoys flushed, nothing there. Iron ring suicide, Little Trickle as usual. Angel's kiss may be surfable once. Garvin huge, wavetrain below nice. Upper No-Name flushed, first wave nice. Lower No-Name flushed, nothing there. Lots of huge boils everywhere, and many new channels are flooded--don't get lost...

We had the whole thing done in less than two hours, including looking at iron Ring, scouting Little Trickle and looking at Elevator Shaft, portaging Garvin's etc. Bring your playboat, no need for creeker. Very beginner friendly.

I thought at this level it was supposed to run down your leg ;)

Yep, that small drop can raise your adrenaline--or make you spring a leak...

The 'trick' for Little Trickle is very simple and works at all levels: get your line to the best of your ability (just left of center at the top), and charge at it: 2-3 strong paddle strokes on the way down should do it.

Comment était Little Trickle?

Similaire à un niveau un peu plus faible. 

Juste  lower no name qui était bizarre car il n'y avait même pas les grosses vagues au centre.   Je suis resté un petit peu ds Angel kiss  mais pas capable d'y retourner car il y avait pas de contre courant

My favorite comment was from someone about to Thread the Needle at a gnarly level -

"My mouth is dry but I need to pee!"
