Title: Weather Reports on Columbia near Bouy 10 to Tongue point.
Post by: cohoho on June 05, 2008, 09:38:25 PM: Guys - was wondering where you all get your weather reports, I was on the net and it states they have a Small Craft advisory, so my trip might be off tomorrow until another day, curious to see if someone was down in those parts today??? Does the Columbia up river of Warren get affected really bad by these conditions? Rather not take the trip to explore with Gas the way it is. Mike

Good luck

Time to run for some more fun. Huntnphool and company, I haven't a clue where ship wreck is, but I'll be some where on the Northern edges of the Desomona Sands..... Hopefully not on top of them!!!!!!
