Nak, it was totally fine

No frogger, we parked at a dead end at some sort of water treatment plant. There's a video camera there so cars felt safe. Walked 150 yards to launch from grassy/gravel mini beach.

Hour plus of riding w Consumer and guests.

Fun shallow pools and sandbars. Super light going out, right at edge of wind, but lit in the middle.

We saw a yellow Rebel, 2012-13 style on OR side of river righ when we came in.

Anybody want to claim that one? Launch from Sandy Delta?

Interesting. There used to be several "no parking", "No Trespassing", "Vehicles will be impounded" signs there. They must have relented to fisherman demands after the new freeway was built. I had called, lobbying for something along those lines during construction, but I was rebuffed at the time. Did you walk on the shoulder and climb down the boulders, or is there now a way cleared below the boulders?

I meant to say Rally. I was a Slingshot Rally, only saw it reach once. It was far away on Oregon side.

We were completely off the highway.

No shoulder walking or rock crossing at all.

I'm almost feeling like I should be keeping this a secret now...

Cool

When you wee just finishing up? That was me too. I beached my boat on the west shore of the delta. The wind was OK, but the current really picks up just barely west of where you were. I couldn't get upwind against it, so I played in the flat water west of the delta.

Thanks for the 411! I'll have to go walk around and check it out. I thought that launch was a lost cause. Bummed me out 'cause it's 8 minutes from my house. Very Happy Did you guys hit the Puffin Cafe post-session? Best fish tacos & rum runners on the planet. About 90 seconds from where you were parked. Thumb's Up
