midsummer overnighter
| Reporter | Dup Crosson |
| Gauge Reading | 400 cfs at TRUCKEE R A FARAD CA |
| Flow | Too Low |
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.
