Do any of you local Pacific NW folks go to one of these?

Hi Gary,
I will be on the Deschutes this coming Friday (the 13th) for several days at
our 28th annual "Maupin Flop". Hopefully we will hit the stone fly hatch.


I rowed the Deshutes two Novembers ago, from Warm Springs to Maupin,
in an 11' wood-frame, two-man Rapid Robert. Rowed the whole way *except*
for the Whitehorse rapids. I let the boat's owner do that stretch.
....if it was my boat, I wooda done it. But it wasn't.

Anyway, what a beautiful river. What a beautiful float. What a place.
The only bad part was the wind (strong enough to make a parked
locomotive shake and vibrate, every now and then) and, well, the
locomotives. Those trains were so loud I can still here them now.
