Tread carefully in the next week or so. Best not to wade onto your favorite island in the middle of the river.

Wonder what time tomorrow the Squamish blows out.

[nickredway]

Checked out the Squamish for a bit and walked up the Mamquam today, was thinking of heading up that way again tomorrow - was hoping to walk down the Cheakamus from the Bailey bridge, does that river stay in good shape longer that the Squamish or similar? It must have got milder up the hill today as the Mamquam rose a good 6inches in the afternoon. Don't want to waste a drive from Van.

Ah finally an excuse to just stay home tomorrow

Sometimes it's nice to ignore the gravitational pull of the river... I am worn out and need to sleep in!

Cheers,
