 Sat Oct 27, 07 7:55 am Washougal Meeting - Sat @ 10-11am |
 |

Anyone in for a fix...?
The plan is to meet @ Rooster @ 10
That means you Kreamer, Bone-Yeti, Boardrider, Chanson, Mixwell, Crazy-C and anyone else who wants to get some.....
If it seems nuked out than we'll work our way westward and maybe hit something a little more do-able....

Good times today. Wind was really up and down, making it hard to stay upwind consistently, but the sun was warm and it was good to see such a turn out. Felt like Cottonwood park has the wind blocked a bit too much. How was Camas?
Has anyone scoped out or launched at the end of the dirt road on the WA side just East of Reed Island? That's in the wide open stretch that leads to RR and I saw some sand flying up there. It should have stronger and cleaner winds than Cottonwood, but still less than RR since it's 2-3 miles West of there.
Here's a map of the point. Looks like there might be enough beach for a comfortable launch.

Afternoon sess was nice. Rooster looked like it could be a near death experience.

I've been trying to scope that place out. You'll see vehicles there from time to time, but I think it's friends & Family of the people that live in the farm houses straight north from there, up by 14. (Those houses control vehicle access into the beach.) I believe though, that the beach itself is on a national wildlife refuge. (I could be wrong...) I think the access to that beach would be by parking at Cottonwood and riding mountain bikes up the dike road to that beach. I haven't ridden it yet, so I don't know if you run into a "Private Property" sign before you get there. I've actually ridden the area launching from a boat, and it's pretty nice. Fairly steady wind and nice water when I rode it, with swell out in the channel. It's a VERY large area to ride... Lots of room. There's little to no current in a very large area, so you don't have to constantly fight up current... Having scoped out the beach from the river, it looks like there should be plenty of room to set up and launch

Yep, you hit signs before you get far enough up the trail to access the beach, I checked it out a couple of winters back

| The pic above is from Henry and I's expedition to Corbett. Definitely has some potential as a backup spot for when Rooster is nuked out.
