Bassin’ HIGH WATER in a driftboat

June 4th, 2008


More like Squaw’n', but what the hell. It was a lot of fun just to say ‘oh well’ to the weather and head out anyway. I’ve never seen Rooster Rock estuary so HIGH! Check out the pics below.

This first picture says it all. If any of you know this side channel, you’ll agree I’m sure it’s been ten years since you could row from the estuary DIRECTLY out into the Columbia. Ridiculous.

Richey; those condos you used to live in along the river might be a little soggy this year.

You are looking at where the dike would be that normally stands so tall you cannot see the Big River.
