Wind

March 3, 2025

7.2' and rising

The day after the Wind River Race a group of 3 R2 rafts, a shredder-like boat, and 2 kayaks ran this section. Level felt like a friendly medium. The storm supplying the water was rain on snow.

We portaged Kingpin on the right (runnable on the left), and portaged twice downstream for logs, including the blind logjam on the right hand turn 0.4 miles below Ninemile Creek. There wasn't an eddy, but the water is moving slow enough and we spaced out enough that stopping on the river-right gravel bar was not a problem.
There were a couple more log ducks on the run, but overall the wood wasn't bad.
