White Salmon: Green Truss

Mike Novak putting in below Big Brother.

Sunday of President's Weekend found a crew assembled for the Green Truss. I didn't make the run, but the crew took the camera. Paddlers included David Chatham, Chris Dawkins, Mike Evans, Steve Munk, Mike Novak, and Scott Waidelich aka Fish. I'll turn the trip report over to Steve.

Original stills are online in the gallery.
