Packed up the bikes with the packrafts for the bikerafting trip at Ringold Boat launch. There were a ton of yellowjackets at the parking lot and I got stung on the back of my neck before we got going. Brian and I took off around 8:40am. It was a nice ride with not too much wind especially compared to last time I did that trip a few years ago. There were some pretty long stretches of washboards, but no other cars.

We took about 45min to inflate and load the packrafts at the White Bluffs boat launch. We got some funny looks from all of the fishing boats. The river was super low and not much current so the paddle took a while. We saw a river otter at the take-out, several deer, salmon, and many birds. Overall a great paddle.

After putting the bikes back together, deflating the rafts, and loading the bikes again we rode the final gravel back to the car. Super nice day to complete the Hanford Reach bike-paddle-bike trip: https://www.bikeraftpnw.org/brlog/fall-bikerafting
