Here in the PDX area, we had the annual "Float the River" event.
More than 8,000 people floated in big rafts, small rafts, kayaks, and inner-tubes down the Clackamas River !
The Clackamas is a pristine free-stone tributary of the Willamette,
and the 8-mile float from Barton Park to Portland is a traditional rite-of-passage
for local teenagers at any time of the year.
White water rafters and kayakers start several miles upstream
so they travel thru Class III - and at high water - Class IV rapids.
