Wonderful Wenatchee Overnighter
Lots-o-snow + finally-not-cold-weather = too_much_water.
Most rivers are too big right now for any good paddling with one exception: mother-flipping WENATCHEE. Who wants to go play?
Leave Friday afternoon or Saturday morning of the 20th/21st, come back 22nd Sunday night.
The Wenatchee: The only reason to cross the Cascades. Class III, big water, some of the best playboating in this state. Great place to learn how to surf, and great first class III for most boaters. Nothing is really difficult, just massive, roller-coaster like waves that you simply float over. No rock dodging, no surprise holes, no hostile mermaids with tridents. But like I said, big water. The river is wide and moves fast, so swimming is quite a hassle (though not at all dangerous). Cuz of that, I'm going to have to require a roll in the pool/lake. But it's crazy fun. And WARM (I guess the sun is another reason to make the easterly trek).
Because I'm requiring a roll and I want to include as many people as possible, I'll try to hold some small group roll sessions the week after finals for those interested. I make my own work hours so I'm flexible.
If you are a lake member and you'd like to go on the trip you will need to upgrade your membership to lake/sea. You can do that by filling out this form and taking it to the HUB Ticket Office. The $30 charge pays only for your American Canoe Association membership, which is our insurance coverage.
So if you're interested, RSVP to me - myork@u. with this info:
* Can you roll? It's ok if no, we can work on it the week before.
* What's your favorite aspect of math?
* Car availability including rack, mileage, # of seats
* Cell number
* Can you leave Friday afternoon? What time?
* Have you ever started a fist fight?
If you can answer any of those in Haiku, I give you first pick on a boat.
