Two Stack at the Upper Clack

This is a picture of my cat trailer with a two stack of catarafts at the put in for the run on the Upper Clackamas River. I started out with a custom low side 4' X 10" utility trailer. Then I took the trailer to a pickup rack manufacturer and had them make side platforms for the cat tubes to sit on. When the trailer is not in use hauling cats around it serves double duty as a utility trailer. On long camping trips I can load the space under the cats with gear.

A boating friend of mine has to have a name for all her boats so I named these two boats Jake and Elwood. In honor of the Blues Brothers. The black and blue boat is Jake and the blue and black boat is Elwood. The blue and black boat is my spare that I loan out to anyone who wants to demo a set of Sotar Legend tubes.

Re: Two Stack at the Upper Clack

Cool Cats! I was on a trip last week and I stopped at NRS (Northwest River Supplies) to look around. I had the only 4x4 van in the parking lot but out of the corner of my eye I kept looking for your van or maybe carringb’s!
LOL!

Two Stack at the Upper Clack

If you ever float the lower Clackamas our property is the beach opposite the rock wall east of Riverside Park. They use to cliff dive off the rock wall but the blackberries have gotten to thick.

Ha ha. I put on 8000 miles in the last 2-weeks, so who knows.... I might have been just around the corner . Van will be in Idaho again next week for a main-salmon trip.
