Kayak Pend Oreille River Water Trail Trip

Report from Kurt Wilke


Aug. 23 - 27, 2021 (Monday - Friday)

Thirteen of us visited northeast WA to explore the northern portion of the Pend Oreille River Water Trail. The river flows north into Canada to meet the Columbia River. This portion of the river has 2 dams, Box and Boundary. Our base camp was Edgewater State Campground near Ione, WA. We had 3 paddle days and we explored a different portion of the river each day. My guess is that we paddled 6 to 8 miles a day. We were very fortunate that the weather cooperated with us. We had sunny weather and no smoke from the wildfires. The nights were chilly and the days were very warm and no bugs to speak of too. 

Day 1 we launched from the boat launch in our campground. We kayaked downstream to within a mile of Box Canyon Dam. We saw Osprey, Eagles, and turtles. Paddled back to the boat launch for lunch. Some of us then continued upstream to Ione to explore the river a bit more.

Day 2 required a shuttle as we paddled from Box Canyon Dam to Metaline. It was a pleasant float. Stopped part way to have lunch. There were  bear and deer tracks on the beach we stopped at.

Day 3 we drove to Boundary dam to launch. It was a bit windy so our paddle upstream was against the wind and what little current there was. Made it easier on our way back though. 233 foot PeeWee Falls was a short paddle from our launch point. It was pretty impressive. We paddled a few more miles upstream. Interesting rock formations and checked out one of the boat only accessible campsites. On the way back to Boundary dam the water level had gone down enough where we could limbo into one of the caves with our kayaks. That was really cool. 

After the paddle, some of us took a tour of the Gardner Caves, a 500 million year old limestone cavern. After the tour a couple of our group walked the quarter mile to the Canadian border.

We ended the day with a pizza party at our camp. 

This short description of our trip really doesn’t do the trip justice. It was a wonderful trip and worth doing again.

Salmon River West Hike


July 30, 2021.  (Friday)

It was a great hike - good weather and very enjoyable company!  A moderate 7.8 miles hike along a trail that follows Salmon River through old growth rainforest, then climbs to a great viewpoint of the vast Salmon River canyon.
Thanks to Michele Gunness and Sally Niedermeyer for organizing this hike.

Burnt Bridge Creek Trail bike ride
& Backyard BBQ at Debbi's 


July 24, 2021.  (Saturday)

Our bike ride and BBQ at Debbi's was fantastic!
The ride on the Burnt Bridge Creek trail through Vancouver, Washington, is unique and beautiful. Pity that only 8 people showed up. Some stayed away because of the forecasted high temperatures in the low 90s, but most of the trail is in deep shade of old growth trees, and there was a light breeze, so it was actually quite pleasant.
Thanks to Harry and Lisa Scribner for showing us this wonderful place.

The BBQ with salmon and spicy sausages in Debbi's back yard was wonderful. People brought side dishes and salads, and many brought desserts. The 31 participants had a wonderful time. It was great seeing some familiar faces in real life after a long period of COVID isolation. One new member joined us (Welcome Gerald!).

Highway Cleanup 


June 26, 2021.  (Saturday)

This event was supposed to happen on June 5, but we got rained out.  So, the 8 people that showed up decided to have a brunch at Huckleberry Inn instead, and we rescheduled the highway cleanup for June 26.

Unfortunately, only 4 people showed up this time.  It was a hot day, but not too hot during the morning hours. Violet found some money, just like the first time she participated in this cleanup. The first time, she found a $20 bill.  This time it was just some coins.  Violet is now officially the luckiest highway cleanup person among us!
 
We do this twice a year. Our adopted section of the highway is between milestones 51 and 53 just west of Government Camp.

Trillium Lake bike ride 


June 20, 2021.  (Monday - Wednesday)

A very pleasant bike ride.  We covered about 12 miles and had a picnic at the amphitheater by the lake.  We expected about 10 people, but 2 cancelled at the last minute, so only 8 of us participated in this ride.

On the way back from the lake to Government Camp, we followed a mountain bike trail that we've never done before as a group. It was a pleasant trail, and we determined that it's easier to follow it from the lake northward rather than  toward the lake (southward).

Mission Ridge Ski Trip 


February 22-24, 2021.  (Monday - Wednesday)

Thirty people signed up for this trip, even though it was the most unusual ski trip we have ever done.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on this trip, we only arranged for a group discount at the Cedars Inn in Wenatchee, but everyone had to make their own reservations.  Also, everyone had to make their own lift ticket purchase and reservations.  Mission Ridge is part of both the Powder Alliance and the Indy Pass, so anyone who had either of those passes could ski for free here.

On Monday, very high winds caused the shut down of the whole ski area.
On Tuesday, it was still a bit windy, but the wather kept improving, with lower freezing elevation and some sunshine, which was minly noticable at the base area and on the chair 4 terrain.
On Wednesday, we had a beautiful sunny day with nothing but blue sky.

At the bomber wing, Steven Rice proposed to Debra Malin. She said yes. Scroll down to see a short video of it.

The snow was excellent, especially at higher elevations.
