Does anyone have an update (and new photos) on the White Salmon sand bar? _________________ Steve CGKA Member mcsailor0303 Since 18 Mar 2009 184 Posts The Dalles Stoked Wed Feb 08, 12 9:35 am     I sailed by it last week. No photos, but it is SOLID. My vote would be that it is here to stay. _________________ Get it while its good!

I am surprised no one has floated the idea of having a sand bar "christening" party in the spring if the sand bar stays. How often are you going to see a new feature like this form in the Gorge? These things need to be celebrated. New sand bar, kegs, bonfire and ????

If the new Salmon Bar survives Spring run-off it is worthy of a celebration event.......but it's still early.....and don't count Monkey's prediction out yet.

It's official. _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com Nak Since 19 May 2005 4304 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Wed Feb 08, 12 5:40 pm     pdxmonkeyboy wrote: No sandbar will form at the mouth of the White Salmon. I am absolutely certain of it. I am so certain, I will commit to buying two kegs of beer for the christening party if a new sandbar forms. In fact, I'll commit to buying Nak a new quiver of kites every year for twenty years if a sandbar forms there. That's how certain I am. bambam Since 15 Mar 2005 760 Posts Hood River Photographer Wed Feb 08, 12 7:37 pm     Mark... Did you tell them how unstable it really is out there. I heard you and Tom just about sank up to your necks... Right now the water is very very low... the sediment is still very unstable... I tried walking out on it about a week ago... F'ing screw that dumb idea. It formed fast, and it could disappear just as fast. Only time will tell.

Hope it holds, but not holding my breath... Bams Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Thu Feb 09, 12 7:34 am     Yeah the first launch and landing was like walking on Mousse. Very challenging to pump up your kite while the pump and you slowly sank deeper and deeper. (was worried about Gman as he is not that tall to begin with ) Have walked out on it several times since. Some days hard some days not. But the point is... if you have launched and landed it is officially here. May not stay, but the Beer bet was won..... _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com guest Guest Thu Feb 09, 12 7:50 am     According to this report. 1 million cubic yards of material has already left the dam site. I got a feeling most of it ended up at the mouth or near the mouth of the White Salmon. My vote is it's here to stay. http://www.wetplanetwhitewater.com/blog/comments/condit-dam-watch-meeting-with-pacificorp-and-cabin-owners/ pollywog Since 07 Aug 2009 291 Posts Obsessed Thu Feb 09, 12 8:24 pm     I like beer! Especially free beer! What kind of kites will Nak get? Sweeeeet! From what I saw there wasn't a stipulation on how long a sand bar would be around. It was written a sand bar would not develop! Beeeeeer! Yummmmm! _________________ Gun control means hitting the bulls eye... kitebot Since 20 Feb 2007 251 Posts Obsessed Fri Feb 10, 12 12:37 pm     From a previous thread: Nak wrote: I have no interest in celebrating the formation of a new White Salmon sandbar. Not even if pdxmonkeyboy gave me a quiver of kites for the next 20 years. Also, I'd just give the kites to Kitebot or some other random person on the forum        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
