Story:
Launch: I went to launch at US Hwy 98 but a sign there said "No Boat Launching," and mentioned something about a fine. So, to be safe, I went to the Howells Ferry Road launch site instead which added on about 10-12 extra miles to the trip.
Launch Cost: $5
Destination: Upper Big Creek, past the US 98 bypass currently under construction.
Distance: 19 miles (round trip)
Paddle time: 7 hours
Weather: Cool morning starting at 50 degrees and rising to about 68. Calm conditions at start and winds picked up to 10-15 mph out of the southwest in the afternoon. No tide influence. Current minimal in upper Big Creek. One foot chop on the return trip.
