Skykomish, N. Fork

9 of us put in at 7-mile bridge. The roads were clear all the way. 4 of us took out under the bridge in Index and the other 5 continued down to the SF confluence.

They day started clear, which was nice, as we could see the beautiful snowy mountains around us. I'm not familiar enough with the individual rapids to know what has changed since the flooding, but from what my fellow paddlers were saying, there have been some pretty major channel shifts- old channels now completely dry. And some of the rapids are different- steeper in places.

There was a lot of wood on the banks and quite a few trees leaning precariously over the river, looking ready to go at any moment. There was one big tree down across much of the channel, but it was passable on river left.

It was a fun level and a beautiful day for a paddle.
