Tieton River (WA) - Sept. 13-14, 2014

Please be patient while the pictures load...

Quite the zoo for full flow Tieton weekends


Ready to launch at 12:13pm with Jim and Sherry


Into The Brothers


Under the putin access from US 12


Scenery shot between major rapids

RiverBooty.com was taking pictures both below the dam and at Waffle Wall. For Saturday the boat total was 249. On Sunday it was only 132

Lots of other trailers at the takeout


Was tough getting a camping spot. Kitchen and my vehicle are on one side


Jim and the boats across the road


The damn bus music went thru the night


Jim explains cooler 'bear proofing' to an inquistive vistor


Alpine guides found a dead juvenile osprey


About the same flow as yesterday, perhaps a tad lower


Campers get to watch the rafts thru the fun waves


High Noon approach


Below High Noon


Being in the shade drops the temp a few degrees


Into Waffle Wall


Windy Point in the distance


Above Emu Island (didn't see any this year)


Bend above the takeout


Jim pushes towards the takeout eddy. Much easier at this flow


So ends another Tieton Weekend. Runs #109 and #110 for me
