CCC Meeting & Paddle - Coyote Creek - June 1st, 6:30pm
June 1st is about 2 days before the full moon -- perfect for
paddling out on Fern Ridge reservoir, watching the sunset, and
then returning at 'bright' moon light on Coyote Creek. Bug
repellent is suggested.
Agenda items:
- July trip planning
- Plans for newsletter
- Eugene Celebration planning
- open deck to any other issues
Date/Time: June 1st, 6:30 ~ 9:00 pm
Directions: Coyote Creek is a tributary of Fern Ridge reservoir.
To get to the canoe put-in, take 11th Ave (Hwy 126) west out of
Eugene to Central Road (adjacent Perkins Peninsula Park) and turn
left (south). Take the next Left (Cantrell Road) and drive ~ 1 mile
until you come to the Coyote Creek bridge. Park on north shoulder.
Row River - Dorena Dam to Cottage Grove - Memorial Day Weekend
This is a fun local run with something for almost anyone. The
first mile below the dam is Class III with several ledge drops.
After that things get easier (Class I+/II). Those looking for less
excitement can simply put in below the first mile at the bridge.
See run #63 in Soggy Sneakers, 3rd ed.
Dave W. has generously offered use of his property for camping
(it's on the river), so we can more or less do the run several
times, then kick back at camp and burn some marshmallows.
Watch the email list and/or contact Horst for more info.
John Day River - Clarno to Cottonwood - June 3th-9th
The details are still being worked out but several folks are
interested in this trip so it'll likely happen. See trip #187 in
the 3rd edition of Soggy Sneakers.
Contact Mari at 541.683.1248 (after 9 AM) for more info.
Kalamath River Trip (CA) - June 11,12,13
(paraphrased from earlier email)
Regarding the Kalamath River trip:
Here's what we know so far: We have a reservation for space 12 at
Tree of Heaven C.G. June 10, 11, 12. There's about 25 miles of pretty
nice class II stream available from Tree of Heaven C.G. There is a
group space available there and if justified by confirmed interest I
could possibly reserve that for us. Space 12 is close to the John and
should accommodate 10/15 campers. Parking at all sites is limited so
some would have to park their cars at the day use lot about 100 yds
from campsite. Our runs could be divided up as Iron Gate to Collier
1st day, Collier to Tree of Heaven 2nd day and Tree of H. to pullout at
MP 25.1 .
For more info contact Lee and/or Ellen ASAP at 741-9824.
MF Willamette River, Hills Creek Dam to Lookout Pt Reservoir - date TBA
This is the same fantastic run we did last October: see the November
2003 newsletter trip
report for further enlightenment. The specs: Gradient 18 fpm; Class
2+ / one class 2-3 rapid: 'Hells Gate' (boulders - more technical than
big waves), can be scouted from Westfir bridge. Also see Soggy
Sneakers run #71 Pat Welch's
sub-page.
Contact Lana at 683-1409 to get the ball rolling.
