The North, South and Middle Forks of the Smith River are about as close to Oregon as you can get and still be in California. Rugged mountains, smooth granite, clear rivers, warm weather but only about 5 hours from Portland, think of the Smiths as Cali-lite.
Our original goal for this trip was the Cal-Salmon. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2009 boating season has been a bit of a bust here in the NW, at least for me.&#160; After pushing the kayaking passion for years now, lots of things (mostly good) are pulling me away from my kayaking time. A low-water El Nino year hasn&#8217;t helped but &#8220;back in the day&#8221; water levels never [...]]]></description>

Happy to have escaped a beat-down below/behind the falls
 
It seems like a long time ago when I first ran Nohorn Cr. It was back in 2001 when I&#8217;d really only started poking around looking for some new runs in the area. Nohorn was a surprise and in hind-sight, we got pretty lucky the first [...]]]></description>

There are a couple Eagle Creeks in Oregon. There is the Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge that has been featured in a number of kayaking videos with big, runnable waterfalls and dramatic gorges. This Eagle Creek flows into the Clackamas River about 6 miles west of the little town of Estacada and contains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The author drops the dam

I last boated the Riverhouse Section of the Deschutes probably almost 8 years ago; long enough that I can&#8217;t remember exactly! The only other time I was in Bend, we ended up doing several other sections and skipped the Riverhouse section of the Deschutes. Other than that, I hadn&#8217;t been back [...]]]></description>

Portland was virtually shut down for several days around Christmas because of snow. We had over a foot of snow in some parts of the city and because plowing is pretty spotty, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Upper Quartzville Creek is one of the classic runs in Oregon. With wonderful water quality, great geology, and fun rapids, boating doesn&#8217;t get much better than this. I remember doing a Upper Quartzville shuttle for some expert boaters back when I first started boating in the early 90&#8217;s; when Upper Quartzville was considered Class 5 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Middle Santiam
After a long, dry October, fall boating season finally got under way with some good November rains. I&#8217;m always a little anxious in the fall because I never know when snow is going to block access to the high elevation runs. Since most of the exploratory and obscure stuff I like is at higher [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well it&#8217;s been quite the summer here in Oregon. Record snowpack and a wet, cold spring resulted in epic water levels on the Clackamas River and an epic rafting season. We had some close calls&#8230;

And some carnage&#8230;

And we had some wonderful warm, mellow days in July and August. Overall it was an amazing year.
