The Big Slide, photo 2

Report

Account	Some early rapids, before the river gets too hard. This is the first slide; it's very straightforward. Below it is one of the few pools on the creek. Mark ascends after scouting compactor. Mark runs Compactor. The nasty thing about this rapid is that the water is about 2 inches deep at the landing. I think that if my bow had been pointed down a bit more, I wouldn't have felt as much compression in my torso when I landed. This is one of the rapids just downstream of Compactor. These are part of the continuous Class II rapids between the Compactor Exit Raids and the Big Slide Entrance Rapids. This is one of the rapids that leads up to the Big Slide. This is the start of the Big Slide. The start of the Big Slide. My one piece of advice is: keep your boat pointed downstream.
