Skate Park round 2

Dan and Ben went back to Skate Park Creek last Saturday to take care of some unfinished business, cleaning up on the drop Dan and I had flipped on a week or two earlier.

Levels for Skate Park Creek.

Attempt 1

      -3000+ in Klickitat

      -500+ in Little Klickitat

Attempt 2

      ~2000 in Klickitat

      ~300 in Little Klickitat

Attempt two was the minimum I believe as the rafters carried their boat through the runnout below the Skate Park.  It was too low to float.  I don't know what a max would be, but the wood dodging could get interesting at too high of flows.  I would not be worried even with the Klick at 5000 though.

My current thoughts on flows are:

 -a minimum of 2000 in Klickatat at Pitt and 300 in Little Klickitat at Wahkiacus.-

  Of course you could get down the run in kayaks lower, but I think this is a good thing to look for.
