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
Looking downstream from diversion dam
Invaded at lunch! Happened Sunday as well
Below High Noon
Waffle Wall in the distance
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
