Now that July 4th has come and gone, what's next on the agenda for the summer?

A couple suggestions:
Anacortes Unknown (July 18th-20th): http://www.anacortesunknown.com
Washington just legalized it: http://blogs.columbian.com/cannabis-chronicles
The beach
The mountains
The lake
The river

    Speaking of the river, anybody want to do the Washougal on Saturday? Maybe get some legal weed on the way? Breakfast first, then head north? Earlyish, so we get a good spot?

    I'm def hitting Battleground Lake this weekend. Gotta use my parking pass before it expires in August.

    I would swim and I bet my old man would too. We'd need to be driven though.

    I floated the Clackamas on the 4th, it was great! I'll be in California this weekend, but after that it's more floating!
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    How do you go about that? Is there a service or you need two cars?
  • SchlabeSchlabe
    @Marc_Zuckerburg - you need two cars (or you can try hitchhiking). I have my car and two summer fun boxes in the back at all times which contain my rafts, pumps, and tubes. I have a number of floating friends that provide the 2nd car. I've also hitchhiked before, but it's nicer if you don't have to.

    Wow, what a sad image accompanying this Oregonian article I read about floating on the Clackamas:

    :( :( :(

    @Marc_Zuckerburg Yeah - litterers are the worst. I always try to pick up litter while I'm there. The police won't actually let people bring beer onto the river - they search coolers and fine people. You have to pull a sneaky little trick to get drinks on the river. But it is definitely possible to leave no footprint while floating - I do it every time.

    Be careful out there- just heard there's been something like 8 drownings since summer weather started. One at 3 pools. Be safe!!!!! You all have such wonderful human bodies and minds.

  • swamp_knobbler_mahanswamp_knobbler_mahan
    @the_owls I would need a ride too ;(
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    Seems like most of the drownings I've heard about (incl 3 pools) are teen boys jumping into rapids. Don't do that and you'll be ok.

    Matt got soooooo mad at me last weekend when I crossed over a log that was too close to a cliff. It's a good thing he wasn't around during my teen years up at Opal Creek. Teens are dumb.

    I've been floating the rivers for years and it's super safe if you are a mature and/or smart person. Also - in addition to floats, I take a raft, which means I have to clip life preservers to the side, so I could always throw those if needed. Just don't jump off stuff - like ever. I think everyone here would be fine. If anyone wants in, text me at 971.222.9573. I *think* I'm taking Friday off.

    "Just don't jump off stuff - like ever."

    100% against this advice.

    Just at the Clackamas I mean - people break their necks on those swings.
