I grew up on the Satsop and personally will not run my sled on any part of it, it is more out of respect of the river than anything else. Anyway at the risk of sounding old I remember hearing the first sled in the 60's while we were floating down and having no clue what that noise was...we were in awe as the boat went by us near where the Riviera is now.

I am sure that some of you will be attending the meetings when they happen on the Satsop and I've been thinkin. It is politically very hard to ban anything, even when it seems perfectly obvious that it should be done...what if Grays Harbor was asked to put a motor size restriction in effect say nothing over 35 horses. The argument could be made that with this size of motor comes a smaller more maneuverable boat that throws off less of a wake which removes a whole bunch of dangerous situations and with less wake there is minimal erosion done to the bank. Just a thought.
