Monday Morning River Stimulus

June 11, 2012 in The Living River

OK, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Spokane River, but because the sun is shining, Spokane River levels are up over 20,000 CFS, and I’ll be hitting Bowl and Pitcher this weekend, I needed some whitewater motivation.

And where better to look than the mighty Lochsa River. Every Memorial Weekend, the Lochsa River creates one of the best YouTube moments all year – the annual video of carnage. So sit back and enjoy the ride!

Oh and if you want some whitewater adventure in your own backyard, consider making a last-minute decision to join us this Sunday for our 3rd Annual Spokane Riverkeeper fundraiser float. It’s going to be mid-70′s and sunny, and best of all, we’ll keep you in the boat the whole time. Info on how to RSVP can be found at - http://www.cforjustice.org/river/spokane-riverkeeper-calendar-and-events/

Here are my favorite moments of the video:

If you’re like me, and I know a lot of you are, you’d rather be outside doing something like picking up trash along the river or just enjoying Mother Nature. Instead, you’re inside working away. That’s OK. Here are a few things you should read that will help the afternoon go by quicker.
