Foothills Park to Cedaroak Park RT, L1, 7-10-22

 This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED).  To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt.  Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment.  If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.

Activity Title: Foothills Park to Cedaroak Park RT, L1, 7-10-22
Date of Activity: 7/10/2022
Narrative: We will put in at Foothills Park in Lake Oswego and paddle up the Willamette. Making our way past Hog Island where we can take a break. Stopping at Ceadaroak Park if necessary for a break. On the return to Foothills Park, we can practice rescues if you are willing to give it a try? This is a level one paddle so we will take it easy. Probably will have to do a little eddy hopping but nothing to challenging. Water is starting to warm so is the air. It’s a good time to be a little daring with your comfort zone.
