Hey all! Just wanted to say that we had an absolute blast that this year’s NW Rally in Cannon Beach. Really enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing everyone’s rigs. Genéte had a lot of fun and enjoyed teaching fellow podders about pet first aid and disaster planning. Thanks to Steve and Peggy for doing and outstanding job as event organizers. Thanks to Steve and Sandy for showing us a wonderful time kayaking the Nehalem River. Nice to meet Rick and Melanie who live only and hour north of us in central CA. Nice to meet Steve from Sandpoint ID with Abby, a sweet long hair black and tan Doxie!

Feel free to PM me with contact info if anyone wants to get a hold of us. We are heading south now down the Beautiful Oregon coast.

Sincerely,

Jeff & Genéte, Chloe, Gretta, Penny, and Liesel

This is some thing I found on the local site:
The trip: Two hours before high tide, launch on the incoming tide at Wheeler. Paddle upstream on the right, exploring Botts Marsh, cross the river and explore the slough on the left.  Continue upstream beneath the U.S. 101 bridge, landing at the public dock in Nehalem for lunch.  As the tide turns, follow the river downstream on the ebb tide and cross the river to Wheeler Marina.  Depending on the tide height, witch is little high due to the moon we might be able to go further than the bridge.  This suggestion is based on renting boats and going with a guide.  We can go further.

The river at Wheeler is not very wide,mostly marsh land.  I've paddled the river a couple of times and around the first bend it slows and only meanders thru the trees and narrows about 2-3 river miles from Wheeler. There are some summer house boats on the river,but I don't recall very many. The weather looks calm, it might be cloudy and cool (60-65) at wheeler and around the first bend might warm to 75-80 later in the morn.  As for the turn of the tide the high tide is measured at Wheeler and this is when the tide turns or ebbs back out to sea.  If some one would like to go out into the bay, down stream from wheeler would suggest launching at lowest tide in the AM and let the current take you back to Wheeler.  I have not been in the bay.  If someone is interested in doing the bay I have several friends that might come down for the bay trip.  Only thinking on the safe side.  I will ask some friends about the bay
