beautiful paddle out

Report

Account If you look carefully you can pick out a paddle blade and shoulder. Amped You can see the first log in the unrunnable sieve in the background. I am looking at the map here, as we only had an hour of light left and had never done the run. Good thing it tapers off quickly after this drop, with no scouting left. These drops aren't real hard but you gotta strive for the small eddy on the right afterwards or you will die. This rapid is right above the first part of Plinko. There is a powerful pocket hole against the left wall when the water is high. Eddy out afterwards on the right. The creek comes cascading in on the right in this picture, just out of view.
