<p>Hi all....after no rain here in the last 5 weeks (most unusual for Oregon in the winter), 3.5 inches in the Johnny rain gauge in the past 24 hrs, leading to 5.5 rainy, muddy, windy miles in the woods earlier today. 1st creek x-ing is now a class 3 rapid, 2nd is thigh deep. Just the way I like it.</p>
