One more month!

I shed a tear yesterday. Out on a bike ride, I spotted the first tree that was starting to change color.

But that doesn't mean we are at the end of the rafting season! There are three scheduled trips left: A Labor Day trip back to the incredible Thompson, and two weekends on the Tieton on 9/11-12 and 9/18-19. The Tieton is really cool because it's a dam-release river, so the water is slightly warmer than other Washington rivers from baking in Rimrock Lake all summer. Dropping nearly 50 feet per mile, it's fast, continuous fun and one of my favorite rivers as a passenger. (But if you want the warmest water, the Thompson was a lovely 65 degrees.)

Then to wrap up the season, join us for the BEWET BBQ, on the afternoon of Saturday, September 25 at Lake Sammamish State Park. Please RSVP ASAP so we can plan food and fun accordingly. (And actually, we'd even like you to let us know if you can't make it, so we know you won't be a last minute RSVP. Please and thank you!) The deadline for registering is Friday, September 17. Come share the rafting stories and see what everyone looks like without wet hair! :)

Hope to see you on the river and at the BBQ!
