Title: Who is thinking of attending Palmer's Weekend?
Post by: liz edwards on May 24, 2018, 07:06:09 PM
I was wondering if anyone had plans tentative or otherwise of attending Palmer's this weekend. I am looking to go down Saturday. I am not sure if I can stay to Sunday. But just want to know what the interest is. See DaveH's post for details.

I was thinking of going but the weather forecast kind of made me change my morning mind.

The weather is calling for a fair bit of rain up that way, but warm rain/conditions with a low of 11 degrees for Saturday night:

For me it actually sounds like good paddling weather (like come on aren't you are planning to get wet!) but I don't know if I will be able to make it cus of other plans that I'm trying to get out of.

And the water levels sound good!! 91 CMS right now:

A bit higher than normal for this time of the year; this should be good for the main play at Palmer's, and at Hass Hole and at ??????

To me the conditions sound really good; just bring some extra dry gear, a tarp?, and your black-fly identification kit.

If I go it'll be Sunday to run the bottom. So 10:30 at the Put-In right?

I won't be there Sunday and I'm thinking there is a very good chance I won't be there tomorrow as well as there doesn't seem to be anyone coming and the weather looks bad. I would wait to see if anyone responds on the thread as well.
