@Kate Traczyk OK, why don't you plan to come with me. Let's meet near 1st and the highway. Options would be to park on the street on 2nd Ave between Rupert and Cassiar, or else over on Rupert by Rupert Park just north of 1st. Do you have a preference? I may need to drop my wife off in Abbotsford on the way. Will know later this evening. If yes, we should meet at 9:00 just to make sure we've got ample time. If no, more like 9:15. We can text to confirm details later this evening or tomorrow morning. Sound good? My cell is 604-556-85six1.

@Kate Traczyk I'd be coming over the Ironworkers' from North Van. So if I were giving a ride it would be best to connect somewhere around the highway. Do you have to leave the Evo somewhere specific?

I might be able to supply a ride if you can't find one, Kate. Where are you coming from?

OK, I'm in for tomorrow. Will plan to meet at Thompson park at 11:00.

Is the group confirmed, Ray? I'd join, but I'm not going to make the drive from Vancouver unless I know what's happening for sure.

Chilliwack is at 0.86 this afternoon, low but runnable. I'm still up for a run down the Classic on Monday (either Slesse down or Allison down to skip the bumpiest and slowest stuff) if there's an appropriate group going. But I need to know tonight so I can plan. I'll check the forum, or text me at 604-556-85six1.

Where are you seeing that, Don? I'm guessing the BC hydrometric site. I usually gauge Cap from the metrovan graph, which still shows just barely 20. But you're right about it looking like it will trend down. Doesn't look promising for today.

I'd run it at 20 cms, but it looks like it might trend below. I'll watch a bit longer this morning.

Looks like it's lower Seymour at 1:00 at the takeout. If others want to join, feel free.

Hmmm. Doesn't look like we've got a group for the Cap this morning. I'm thinking I'll hold off for now, since we don't really have good support for a first run for you, Jason. I'll keep trying in the coming days, now that we're getting more water. I might be open for a lower Seymour run later today, say around 1:00, if there's interest. (I'm assuming the gate is not locked--can anyone confirm that?) If there's interest on that front, shoot me a text.

I'll check the level and forum between 8:00 and 9:00, and will plan from there.

Hi Jason. If you're OK being flexible, my advice would be for us to see how things look in the morning. That way we can see whether others join us, what kind of support we have, and also what the level looks like. The Cap is easier than the hardest sections of the Chilli Classic but difficulty varies somewhat depending on level. It's nicest for a first-time run when it's between 20 and 30 or 35 CMS, and gets a bit pushier on the corners when it's up at 50-60. It's also much more committed than anything on the Chilliwack, because so much is canyon. Another option might be to run the Lower Seymour, which is a fairly easy run but always fun. I'll check the forum again in the morning and we can decide on a plan. My day is fairly flexible. I can also be reached by text at 604-556-85six1.

Can't make it tomorrow, but hopefully there will still be a Chehalis trip (or perhaps Chilli Canyon) next weekend. Have fun!

@Jake Weaver I'm tied up in the morning, but could probably make the river by 2:00, maybe a bit earlier depending. I'll check the forum and levels again in the morning and will try to touch base again. You can also text me at 604-556-85six1.

I'd be interested in a Cap run Sunday afternoon, if the level stays cooperative.

Update - a group of us are going to run the Classic on Saturday, meeting at Osborne Rd. at 9:30.

OK, looks like we've got enough water for a low but pleasant Cap run. Let's do that this morning, and that way Peter can join us. 10:00 am, Park Royal take-out.

If the Cap stays in the "runnable" range, I think that would be my preference tomorrow. I have a buddy who'd like to join and that's his only option. If it's no good, I'd be open to a Chilli run. Suggestion: I'll check the Cap level at 8:00 tomorrow morning and confirm whether it works. If yes, we can go that way. I'm good with 10:00 for a Cap run. If the Cap is no good, I'm happy to head off to Chilliwack. I'm assuming we'll do either Slesse Down or the lower part from just above Allison Pools. 10:00 would work for that option, too. How does that sound? So far it looks like if we're in the Cap, we've got myself, Mike, and Pete, possibly also a 4th. If we run Chilliwack, so far it's just Mike and me. If anyone else is thinking to join, please let us know. Tx.

I'm in for today's run. I'm assuming the gate is unlocked?? Haven't been on lower Seymour for a while.

Sounds like a good plan to me, Mike.
