WOW Tommy Since 12 Apr 2009 225 Posts Gorbachev sings tractors: Turnip! Buttocks! Stoked Mon Aug 30, 10 4:15 pm     Forgive me for piping in here about "the secret spot," but... my understanding has always been that the only access issues at Lyle, notwithstanding the current situation with the fire, are crossing the tracks or heading in under the bridge (not that I, nor anyone else, would have the wherewithal or drive to rappel down there, or climb back up for that matter). I haven't been out there since last summer, but I'm assuming people still kite there, and I wouldn't think it should be any problem getting there by water, e.g., boat, ski, kayak, etc.? Once the fire situation is under control, of course, as Nak points out... _________________ "Resist much, obey little." -Walt Whitman Chooch Since 18 Nov 2007 1871 Posts Wicked Pissah Boston Tea Bagger Mon Aug 30, 10 4:18 pm     Your spot on Tommy...if you can get to the sandbar without crossing the tracks your good to go. Like Forrest said the sand bar is public land and your free to use it whenever you like. forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4330 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Mon Aug 30, 10 4:18 pm     You're correct Tommy.

Railroad law enforcement officers and police will be enforcing the parking and kiting bans." Please continue to stay away, it's just a bummer it only mentions kiting, feeling selected against.

Yakka 120 Folding Kayak - If you click the link you'll find these folding kayaks retail for $699 and up. Three of these are left in stock on closeout for $399 including seat and paddle Cheaper and more compact than a traditional SUP and you can easily fit several kites/boards and beers inside and on the deck. The best part is that when folded one of these easily fits in the back of an Outback or similarly-sized trunk. Just one more tool to GET SOME. _________________ Order your copy of Present Tense today at http://cineaptic.bigcartel.com/product/present-tense-dvd wylieflyote Since 30 Jun 2006 1648 Posts Puget Sound & Wa.

It was an bid item at the auction, think the winner ended up paying around $550.

Its safe and legit as long as the water level isn't to high _________________ "INVOKE THA STOKE" AIRUSH AIRUSH AIRUSH Shallow Dive Design, EVS, Airush, Trident Sports        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
