Mettawee

The second drop at minimum flow since it changed this spring. The vertical slab in the center of the drop has a slot about 5' long, 2 1/2' wide, and 8' deep just to the river left of it that drops out of sight into the rock pile. It's dry at this level. The smaller horizontal slab in the right side of the drop has about 90% of the flow going under it at this level. Both of these hazards are pretty well hidden at normal paddling levels. Pretty scary stuff. I won't even be sneaking this drop anymore!
A slightly different view showing the vertical slab a little better. The death slot is sort of visible to the river left of the slab.
A lousy picture from pretty much on top of the vertical slab, looking down into the death slot. The bright area in the left center of the photo is foam in the bottom of the slot. In the top left corner of the picture, you can sort of see the main flow backing up into a little pothole and disappearing under the horizontal slab.
