American, South Fork

Southeastern boys Dave, Jerry & Earl (running right line on rocks in background) visit the majestic Sierra, here on the Slab Creek section. We were kinda lost on the way here, and stopped to ask directions. Guy looked at us and our boats, said: 'yew boyz class 5 kayakers?' then looking down and laughing, 'it's a frothy white pit.' Indeed it was! During shuttle, another guy comes up on a 4-wheeler, sawed-off shotgun on his lap. Inquiring as to the need for the weapon, he said 'mountain lions.' We wondered if it was to guard his nocturnal horticultural efforts.
