Excellent video. You got some of the nice camps! Can be busy that time of year.

[@chrispaine2265]

Thanks! This was the early days of the pandemic and the shuttle services had just opened up. Not many groups on the river.

It looks like there is an Outcast Pac 1000 pontoon boat with you. How did it handle the rapids? I have a Catchercraft 9' Kamloops I was going to run the Minam to Boganns stretch with.

[@chrispaine2265]

I’m not sure what kind of boat that little cat was, but it was little for sure. Could have been a 10 footer. No issues whatsoever. They took at out Boggan’s as well.

How long did that float trip take? We go from bogans to the bridge rapid take out . We were wanting to do that same trip. Just wondering

[@chrispaine2265]

This was fairly high water. Five short days.

[@Mr666zombie1]

Ok thank you, like 6000cfs?

[@chrispaine2265]

@@Mr666zombie1 put on at 8,000, took off at 6,000.

Nice who knew for Eastern Oregon.

[@chrispaine2265]

It had been on my list for quite some time.

[@gregb9557]

Is that a 14' otter?

[@chrispaine2265]

Sure is. Good eye.

[@randallmiller2017]

I'm in the market for a new river tarp. What brand is that white one at about 2:15?

[@chrispaine2265]

Not really sure about the brand. I bought it from Andy & Bax in Portland. I don’t recommended it, actually.

[@randallmiller2017]

@@chrispaine2265 Thanks Chris. I know who makes it then. Pretty sure it's a Beckel product. I've seen them in A & B.
