Narrative: We tried to do this paddle a few weeks ago but the river conditions were not safe then due to very heavy rain in the few days before the trip, with a 110,000 CFS and large trees floating down the river. 
The good news is that it looks a lot more promising for this coming Sunday, we will launch from Rogers Landing in Newberg and taking out at Boones Ferry Marina in Wilsonville. The distance is approximately 11 miles with a current assist. There could be some moderate eddies to deal with along the way. We will meet at 10 AM at Rogers Landing and shuttle some vehicles to Boones Ferry Marina. Launch time will be at 11 AM. Total trip time should be in the 3-4 hour range depending on how much current assist we have that day. We will take a lunch break along the way at Champoeg State Park, so please bring food and water, perhaps something hot to drink. I have done this paddle both in summer and winter, likely not to have much or any other boat traffic that day. There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle at Boones Ferry Marina. This is rated as a Level 2 trip due to the distance and current.
