Those google map spots look sweet. Access to them could be an issue. Maybe park @ the Corbett exit (fishermen park near the onramp)and hike along the shore to a good launch spot ? There is no good place to pull off 84 west of Corbett for quite a few miles, and at that point, getting to the river would be a long hike through the brush.

Much higher water level in that pic... looks like enough shoulder to park. EB side looks about the same. |
2 things -
1st thing, Your right, that pic is more recent...But shit man...., HIgh Res - it also made my eyes water....
2 thing,
Dude...., there's not much parking space...The G-ride might get hurt...
Phil, you still going to charge it....
Both my managers are out of the office...And I just cann't stand sitting on my ass inside another minute while it's nice and sunny outside....I also promised the GF that I will replace a fu** up gutter we have, but that sh** is going to have to waite for another day...
Chanson - hurry up dude, I think I'm going home sick pretty soon... |

| So is it legal to just pull over and park on the shoulder of the freeway or is that some "emergency only" parking? Of course you could always pull the "Officer, I had to go rescue my hypothermic friend drifting out in the river!" line if you had to. |

Honetsly, I'm going to try to get there around 3 or 4 myself...
It might get lighter (it always does - at least most of the times) by 4....
But look at the bright side (if your coming from Portland), It's not more than a 15-30 minute drive (give or take).... 
Look for the Black Hummer.... |

| I just got back from riding at Bridal Veil. I was on my 7 waroo, wished i'd had a smaller kite. It was extremely windy, especially gusty on the OR side better out in the river itself. Pain in the a*** trying to self land. The wind didn't seem to be backing off much yet, should be great this PM. Windy, warm and sunny!! |
