---- Update due to low water on the SF Snoqualmie ----

We will now run the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie, meet at Tanner Road at 930am.

River run options include
- The Mupper (concrete bridge down to normal put-in for the middle middle)
- Concrete bridge down to A-Frame
- The middle middle stretch


Then we will rally at Jenefer and Bram's in Preston for the 2019 White Water Trip Planning Party. It should be a great year, with you all leading trips, changing lives. If you need directions to Jenefer's
