Truckee

Ran this section as part of a three day, two night overnighter [partially] with fellow packrafters Sami Feld and Andy Rich and some innertubers. This shuttle was fun – I staged a bike at the Amtrak station in Truckee on my way to park my car at the put-in, Silver Creek. I then paddled all the way to Reno, getting a Lyft to the Amtrak station, training back to Truckee, and biking back to Silver Creek.

The funnest sections are near the town of Truckee and near Floriston for sure – we portaged Jaws but will get after it next time!

400cfs is too low in my opinion– there was a lot of scraping.

The American Whitewater crew, past and present, out with Charles Albright for his birthday paddle. Kevin Colburn, John Gangemi, Jack Henderson, Thomas O'Keefe, Risa Shimoda, and Dave Steindorf were all in town for River Rally and had an opportunity to get out for a quick run on the Truckee River. We paddeld from Farad down to Crystal Creek.

A quick afternoon park and play session at Floriston.
