you should check out bridge creek....better than s.silver on the cal-salmon drainage....last mile drops about 6 or 700 fpm and its totally runnable.  Only drawback is that you have to hike in.

I should be guiding w/Sierra Mac on Cherry Creek this summer, but if not, I'll at least be in S.Oregon/N.Cal for May and June.  My R2 partner John, most likely will have to remain here in NY.

I prefer to R2 w/someone who has class V kayak experience as a lot of the techniques we use in the raft were derived from kayaking.
