I wasn’t really looking to shoot a video, but came home with a few clips anyway. Most of this video is the rapid we call Landslide which has gotten easier over the years. I also pulled out the camera at a drop below Landslide. The NF Trask has a succession of four very fun drops [...]
This is a video of the last weekend in March when the Beaver Canoe Club came down from Vancouver, BC to paddle with the LCCC. More paddlers than I can name. On the Wilson Narrows and the Marmot to Marmot section of the Sandy, we had about 19 paddlers each day. Wilson was 1,000 cfs [...]
Eleven LCCCers caught the Salmon at a great level (~2700 cfs by the Sandy at Marmot gauge) for a great run of this heavily forested river. Paddlers included Bill Jordens and Bri Condon (tandem), Audrey Bergsma, Kevin Lane, Greg Davenport, Alex McNeily, Robert Frisbee, Drew Crisell, Chuck Wilkison, Denny Egner, and myself. Most of this [...]
Seven of us paddled the Kilchis on Feb 23. The Wilson gauge was falling from arround 2400 cfs to 2250 cfs while we were on it. Level was great. Driving out in rain and snow there was doubts the forecast for diminishing showers would hold, but once we were on the river, the rain stopped [...]
Once again, Mary Ann Jordens arranged a great Sweetheart Paddle and brought the treats. This year we returned to our 2010 venue, the East Fork of the Lewis, which was around 700 cfs. Amidst the clouds, rain, and breaks of sun, we even had a little adventure involving logs and a canoe. Fortunately, the Sweethearts [...]
A hardy group of LCCCers enjoyed the sunshine and braved the cold to celebrate the first day of 2013 with a run down the Bull Run/Sandy rivers. The group included organizer Bill Jordens, plus Ted Housen, John Murphy, Bets Stover, Audrey Bergsma, and Mark Scantlebury. Caught on video: the first roll of the year and [...]

Autumn rains have been sweet for autumn runs. Both the Kalama and Kilchis runs were on days, as Audrey puts it, had two kinds of weather: hard rain and harder. I didn’t get much footage of the runs, in fact my camera quit working on both of them, I’ve combined what I did get with [...]
One week after the last run in September, a number of us descended on the White Salmon again. In this video, I label some of the major rapids. And you get to see three runs of Husum, including one by Greg Davenport in his C1. He also demonstrates a roll earlier in the video. Other [...]
A group of nine ran the White Salmon at 1.8 feet on the last day of September. The group included Bets Stover making her first solo run of the middle White Salmon and aceing it (then getting bit at Rattlesnake after the falls on the lower section). Also along for the ride: John Murphy, Kevin [...]
