The White Salmon River offers up some of the best creeking in the PacNW. This weekend kayakers from all over the country will descend on it’s chilly class V waters for the 2008 Gorge Games. The extreme race will take place from Bobs Falls to Double Drop, and WILL include Big Bro. I have no intention of doing the extreme race; I’m certainly not a good enough boater for that. But it will be fun to watch and cheer on the competitors, especially the kick-ass ladies competing!

The boater-X will be on the Maytag Rapid, just below BZ. I do fancy doing that….stay tuned for piccies and maybe some video; carnage guaranteed.
