(RM) Caves and Sink Holes


See Other Photo Versions

Description: The cliffs along the paddle out are honeycombed with caves and sink holes. If the water table is down, most of the water coming from upstream drains into the sink holes, turning the "paddle out" into a "hike out". This day, the water table was full, so there wasn't a problem. A good rule of thumb is,if there's enough water to paddle at the take-out bridge, there's enough for the paddle out. This is a shot of my group waiting for Milt Aitken to come back out of the cave he decided to explore.
