(RM) Put-In Rapid

Report

Account	The left line is the most commonly run at Gravity. The right line is the less commonly run side of Gravity. Marshall Fox runs one of the smaller rapids on Overflow Creek. Bouncy, bouncy, trouncy, trouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun...... Hemlock Falls is a sweet double drop. In the background you can see Shannon Nicholson hand paddling the first 10 foot drop and Phil Malatin running the bottom ledge. On most rivers, this rapid would be called something like "Killer Fang Falls". But on Overflow, its simply Pee Wee. Pinball is the longest and one of the most challenging rapids on Overflow. Unfortunatly, this photo makes it look tame. What you don't see is the large, munchy, grabby hole at the bottom. On the count of 3, in your best southern accent.... ready? .....1 .....2 .....3! "Roundabout marks the beginning of Damnation Alley!" Yes, this picture sucks, but what do you expect from a camera I bought at Walmart. However, this shot does gives you a good idea of how tight and restricted Roundabout is. Wood is sometimes a major problem, so be very very careful. When taking a first timer down Overflow, its a tradition to say, "just follow me!" at the top of Singleys Falls, and conveniently leave out the fact that you are at the top of Singleys Falls! Dayna Bryant doing a great boof on the last drop before Igor and Marginal Monster. You know you've found the put-in when the road ends at this huge culvert. Most people put in at the base of the put-in rapid. A few have run this drop, but the line is tight and sketchy.
