If you'd like to join me for a quick loop hike around the Brown Bridge Quiet Area from 9-11AM, it's 5 miles & takes 2 hrs.

Otherwise, meet at Brown Bridge Landing at 11:45 for a shuttle to Beitner. We should be finished with our paddle by 3:30-4PM, with a short break at Shumsky. This is an easy 10-mile paddle on the Boardman, with 17 bridges between BBL & Shumsky (6 miles), and another 7 between Shumsky & Beitner (4 miles), so we'll keep count as we go. Bring PFD, paddle, bow & stern lines, snack, water, and dry bag with extra clothes.

If anyone is interested when we get to Beitner, we could scout the Beitner Rapids, and continue on to Oleson Bridge. This will be limited to experienced paddlers only. It's an easy walk back on the trail along the river to get back to our cars at Beitner.
