WRRR CSS problem

After upgrading to iFeature Pro 5.1.0.7, the white background css broke. The wrapper div that I was setting up is no longer on the pages, so I can’t set it. I was able to set these attributes on .container :

  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
  box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px 2px #333333;

The box shadow had some problems, in that it meant a shadow around every container, rather than around the whole thing. I was able to mitigate this by not having bottoms and tops on the shadows, but this requires using multiple shadows, which may not work on all browsers: box-shadow: 6px 0 4px  -4px #333333, -6px 0 4px  -4px #333333;

This helped fix almost everything. Here is a partial image of the page:

The color of the menu is all wrong. It should look like the dark green “Upcoming Events” header. That is what I need help with.

After-work runs

Snowmelt has begun, and sundown is late enough to allow for after work runs. There are several options, with the most common being the Middle Middle (MF Snoqualmie), the SF Stilly (Wiley Creek to Verlot), the SF Snoquamie (below Twin Falls), the Upper Green River Gorge, and the Cedar River. Most trips are announced on the Yahoo group and/or Facebook page.

Middle Middle

We meet at 5:20PM  at the takeout on Tanner Rd (see map below) and head to the put-in. The put-in is either the Granite Creek access or the First Island Drop access depending on flows and water level. You can find a description of the run and flow information here.

For more details, contact David Elliott at dce@dcell.com

2013 New Year’s Trip – Report and Photos

wrrrnyd02ch

Several years ago (2003 or 2004), a group of inflatable kayakers in WRRR started a tradition of running the Cedar River on January 1, and this tradition is still going strong. For 2013, we had quite a large group of around 23 people come out on a sunny winter day to get their boating year started.

There are photos from the trip in the photo gallery – photos courtesy Chris Herman and Erik Smith.

Gear Swap and Boat Repair

The WRRR Board is planning a get together on October 6, 2012 to repair boats and gear.  We hope to have some gear swapping going on too. We believe it would be very helpful to provide a space and the know how to help our members repair their gear.  So we have found a location and have invited Steve Dumanis to advise us.  If we are lucky, maybe our editor will join us as a mentor too. We are inviting you to bring your gear, and whatever supplies you will need….glue,  D-rings, patches and valves, and we will attempt to fix it on the spot.  We recommend you bring your repair kits Please be sure that you have new glue.   We are offering a prize for the BEST repair kit. We are hoping to put together a GLUE POSTER, which would show all the different glues and their best uses. We encourage you to bring along any gear you no longer use to sell or trade to other club members. This can be a great opportunity to clear out your storage space and pick up some needed items.  Even if it’s not in prime shape, it may be perfect for someone starting out.  Steve has been repairing boats for years and will be available to help you with your repair [if you are glue-challenged] for a minimal fee.

We will be meeting at the Auburn Airport where Randy Rogers has a hangar that will be available to us for shelter.  The address is 2527 “E” St. N.E., hangar # 503.  There is a locked gate so if you have a trailer, you can contact Randy on his cell phone and he can open the gate to let you drive in. 206-669-1877

We will start at 11:00 am so we will have plenty of time for the glue to dry.  WRRR will be providing pizza and you should provide you own beverages. Any questions, comments, ideas or needs, please call me at 425-413-0948 and leave a message on my home phone

White Salmon Weekend July 21st

Come Join us for the WRRR White Salmon Weekend.  Camping Friday July 20th and Saturday July 21st. 

The White Salmon trip is coming up in July. Join us on this annual WRRR sponsored trip on a class 3-3+ run with one optional portage around Husam Falls. Some folks choose to run the eight to ten foot drop — some don’t even flip.  We meet at the takeout (Northwestern Lake) at noon on Saturday for the shuttle. There is a sign on State Route 141 about five miles from the town of White Salmon. We will put in at BZ Corner. 

The White Salmon got hit hard by the storms this year and may have issues with wood. Tune in to the group site & Facebook for a wood report.  Camping is free for WRRR members at Hollenbeck Park near Trout Lake, WA. This will be the 2nd year at Hollenbeck Park.  The camp site has a large grassy area with spectacular views of Mt. Adams. Address: 33 Mt Adams Rd. (off Hwy 141 to Mt. Adams)

PLEASE NOTE:  When we have a WRRR event where WRRR pays for camping, we charge $10 per person for non-member camping. It’s often a hard thing to collect from people because club members don’t always prepare their guests for this, and the board member doing the collecting ends up being the baddie. Please make sure that your guests know that there is a fee.  You will need to make your own arrangements for food, drink and camping/cooking gear.
