Trip Report: Washougal River

[liveonearth]

We three babes of Oregon went. K & S had not met before, but we were a sympatico group. I love to boat with women because it is relatively noncompetitive with laughs to spare. Twas a lovely dripping drizzly day. We chuckled when the rain started. Kayaking is just as fun in the rain as not; one must be prepared for total immersion. We did a four mile class II section from milepost 7 to a semi-developed takeout. The water was medium--you could see where it had been much higher by the strainers. There was a spiral of black PVC hanging from high in a tree that we deduced was from a culvert that had unravelled in a flood.
