Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportNote the log under where Wayne is standing on river left...very much in play
taken from the end of the pool, which leads directly into Meatball
Wood has shifted, but the cave on river right and the wood/giant rock are still very much in play
Low Water
Just out of sight in the picture is Gnargarita... at high water scout both together
hike 40 minutes from Barrett Rd to the Iron Mountain Rd. bridge put-in. Follow this trailhead to the top of the hill and continue on the trail by turning right. If you go up and over the hill up this trail, do not turn right, and proceed off trail, you can bushwack down to Gnargarita and Meatball, but its no easy hike.
cross the road to reach the trailhead
This is the fun little slalom to get to the top of Blind Dog.
Except for the wood this looked like it would be the highlight of the run. There 3 or four big logs in the middle and then this jumble near the end.
Wood choked
The logs in this gave us pause. But by the end of the run they wouldn't have even made us blink.
Wayne ran it, then I ran it, then Wayne ran it again and did the first surf of Gnargarita.
It's all downhill from here.
In between the big drops and the trees, there's lots of this.
This Slide (New York Slide) seems to be close to the border. The rock at the top right turned both of us around. We ended up stirred, but not too shaken.
Low Water Scouting Mission of Meatball, wood has shifted but a large block of rock is still in the middle of the slide held up by two huge hemlocks
