It should be very similar due to dam release. No real advice or suggestions. It is a pretty chill float with an IK, enjoy.

@@boulderingbadger6179 Awesome! Thank you for the reply!

@@JohnnyKReviews we did not in the week while out, shower. We did shower the night we got back before leaving the next morning. Longer trips probably come back to camp but I am not sure. But we were so dirty from the trip the shower felt spiritual.

@@boulderingbadger6179 that’s amazing to hear. What were the toughest moments you felt from the trip? And what were the highlights in your opinion

@@JohnnyKReviews Toughest was my anxiety from leaving home after not leaving my comfort zone for years, I had a Navy buddy from college come out with me on the trip and met some lifelong friends and the sport itself was a highlight. Dog Sledding is a great way to travel around.

It was 5,952′ and we started way down at the campground. Was an adventure. Dog tapped out on me last mile haha

What's with the .... It is beautiful and wasn't salmon season. Is nature just for looking from the highway?

Thank you. It is a wonderful place. Time is hard to gauge for development, but myself it was about the 3rd year. But this is a lot of skills needed to kayak other than boat stuff also such as route finding/navigstion and classroom based hydrology that is essential. I took a course with the American Canoe Association to learn proper form and technique from hands on instructors and became a level 2 instructor myself. I took swiftwater rescue courses from the college and local training agencies also. The skills learned and networking helps with everything later in your pursuits. This run required good boat control and balance as it is shallow and rolling upright in fast shallow water is near impossible. Also the water is lethal level of cold. It was 103°F and a swim would have been dangerous due to the cold water temps (Its snowmelt like a few miles from the Mt.) With a good group of friends who are focused on growing skills and river hours you can get very good in a reasonably short time. I had to find a friend to drag along, and find the rivers, and beg my friends for shuttles all because its a interesting community of river folks around here. Ego and opinions run high. Many friends have left the sport for softer edged communities.

@@boulderingbadger6179 Thanks a million for the detailed answers. Looks like a lot of work, but tons of fun! Take care and thanks for the pointers.

Class 3 to 3+ is the run level. Long paddle at the end like 3 mile flatwater haha

Thank you. Always looking for good copyright free music. I sometimes settle after it becomes obvious that the music will take longer than the video if I dont. Been spoiled in the past with some good stuff. Chasing that high I guess.

Hoping to see some Mtn Goats. No joy.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Summit was 5944 ft. We hiked in from the lower trailhead so it was a ton of elevation gain. Great trail. Last mile was a doozy due to fatigue but we enjoyed doing the full hike.

local issues from a dam, fisheries study area and very little to no issues from private owners.

indeed thank you for your engagment.

The hike certainly has 2 or 3 spots where any sane person would feel uncomfortable with the amount of exposure. The very top is as far as the spouse made it due to fear of heights. The push to the lookout is scary for sure.

@@boulderingbadger6179 I can't even imagine going all the way to the lookout. I would have a panic attack for sure.

I could be mistaken but this is the 'lower' Applegate because its below the dam. This is just the Applegate. Upper Applegate is above the dam and lake.

Correct. Upper is in California. It can be confusing because the road from the dam to Cantrell Buckley is called Upper Applegate Rd 😊

Not that I know of. Its a remote location as far as commercial outfitters and I think the lake has people you could ask or call around to work out.

I've heard the dam flow never goes below 800 cfs and that is enough.

Sorry this was a vets trip I joined and was not keeping details like that, that day. I do have kayak footage of the same floats which I do have the flow data.

Peaceful river and nice campgrounds on the river is great for veterans .

@@Davidsavage8008 I agree. Its always a treat to visit from the dry southern oregon area.

@@boulderingbadger6179 is that Oregon still or did Oregon sell it to Idaho yet ? I left Oregon 3 Jan 2020 . couldn't find a place to exercise my V.A. loan . On the west coast . Now I'm in SW. Virginia . it's real nice out here. Peaceful like Oregon.

Andrew will be back this winter to boating. right now he is a structure firefighter in CA and is very busy. Hope you have a wonderful day, Margaret

Im back. Kayaked Galice stretch and Gold Ray to Gold Hill in the last two weeks.

42.647594647505386, -121.88393527402627

This was a low flow too. Gets really good after it picks up some of the big springs and incoming creeks. Beautiful area all around.

who actually uses it these days and what for?

@@basehead617 ...been a few years since I was there last, during a winter. All I ever saw were a bunch of workers and supervisor.

Do it anyway , they made drugs legal why pay attention to any laws.

Im gonna have to say I am not sure. I usually try to be careful with the spelling due to the goal of mine to get people to areas to boat, but I must rely on memory and that is where I probably spell it wrong. I think its Gottville like the river take out and access area is named on google maps. Ive no idea about local history or name etymology.

@@boulderingbadger6179 copy, thx for reply, even though it was apparently 3 years ago I posted that question! 🤯😎😁👍🏼

Sorry I was in prison.Cheers@@kevinhill.8

I bet. It was easy to miss the class 4 rapids at this level haha.

Cantrall Buckley a county park. Hamilton Rd and Cantrall Rd. Great spot.
