Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportGauge on waterman, used to be the 'e' in 'Matt is Sexy' but it was starting to fade so a numerical one was put up. One is minimum, two is medium, three is medium high, four is high. Located at the take-out bridge, river left abutment, upstream side. Please text level to necreeking@gmail.com when you get a visual. Thanks!
Simone running Kettle.
Ignorance is Bliss in the background, the Terraces in the foreground. Two people and high flows = shouldering the boats around these two.
Marshall scouts the Terraces, beginning with a 5ft ledge drop between two rock walls, then making a 90 degree turn and dropping another 5 or 6 ft sliding over a couple ledge holes
Marshall drying out and falling off the left side of the opening drop of the Terraces
Second to last good ledge of the run, two exit options left or right below this, very common wood choke point right here, always check it out.
Before the confluence, drops are of this nature, taken on a wood cleaning mission early spring 2008.
First big drop after the bridge below the confluence. We worked on this log from upstream for a good 30 minutes before looking downstream to find it was a nasty sieve which the log extended through. Scary stuff, this one got run at high water about a year later with the sieve unknown to the paddler earning the name Ignorance is Bliss. Even despite the sieve, the river right undercut wall is a scary sight.
