When I aligned the overlapping frames to make the composite I had to avoid the icebergs. 4Stringer/KipWinger Since 27 Apr 2005 541 Posts Hood River Addicted Wed Jun 04, 14 4:49 am     This is my favorite post yet from historichoodriver.com. So much detail to study. _________________ revitalized by muthu-nachu consumer Since 28 Nov 2010 406 Posts banned Obsessed Wed Jun 04, 14 5:17 am     arthurb wrote: The ice was moving downriver fast enough that it moves between frames.

I'm so afraid of starting a discussion on climate change, but so much looks to have changed. arthurb Since 06 Feb 2009 19 Posts Hood River, Oregon   Wed Jun 04, 14 6:37 am     Before the dams the river had much less volume in the winter and the flow (mixing) was more turbulent, letting it cool much more quickly. I don't think the river has frozen over since the Dalles Dam was built. There is a published report of pairs of people on ice skates holding an umbrella to power them from HR a mile down river (easterlies) before 1900. Don't think we'll see that again.

Yesterday's wind was "umbrella like".        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   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
