| Pretty bummed when I heard about this yesterday, but totally get it and respect it. I'm in Hood River and had been going down to Rock Creek to walk my dogs on the loop, keeping my distance. I won't no ... |

| Yep. Looks like that's it. I know it's at milemarker 151. I think there is camping there. I recall seeing big RVs and tents. recreationparks.net indicates that there is camping for Quesna. Loroc looks ... |

I used this very 139L HiFly to learn waterstarts and hook and foot in The Gorge before I sold it to Mchaco. I'm in the same weight range.
My experience was that staying with a single high-volume b ... |

First, I think the "magic" board size for where you are is in the 120 - 140L ra ... |
