Snoqualmie, Middle Fork

Three of us paddled in the rain from Bridgeview down to Russian Butte. Unlike the trip just 4 days before, there were trees down everywhere along the road from the recent windstorm. Thankfully, someone had gone through with a chainsaw before we arrived, so we were able to drive up all the way.

The river was still mostly clear of wood hazards, though there were a few easily-avoided logs that hadn't been there a few days previous. There is also still a log on river-right just before the Pratt confluence. Easy to avoid on river left, but hard to see it until you’re right there.

It rained hard the whole time, but was still pretty, especially with fresh snow on the low hills around us.
