Super Fun

I have driven past the Upper East Fork of the Hood at least a hundred times. On each occassion my first thought was always, “It would be fun to take a raft down that”.  Well darn tootin it sure was!  While many naysayers said it was too low (3.8 feet at Tucker) we headed out anyway and enjoyed a technical class IV run in the sunshine.  We put in just below Sherwood Campground and took out just above the quaint little orchard “town” of Mt. Hood.  Cool little pub there with happy hour every day by the way.  I didn’t partake as my hands were full with the 12 mile bike shuttle back up what was more fun coming down.

 

 

 

Cruisin the last 4 miles

Big ups to Aire for building the Puma, the best raft creeker in the biz, and to Jacob for essentially running solo in a pinny-bangy cascade of goodness.
