American, South Fork

A small pod of kayakers wait their turn in 1st Threat hole. There would be many, many more boaters during the summer time.
In the summer this launching area is packed with cars, people, rafts and kayaks. Early on a cool November morning it seems deserted. More groups showed up as the morning progressed. There is as fee to launch here.
Larry was concerned about this rapid and took awhile to scout. Then he proceeded to paddle with finesse and aplomb. Unlike the photographer who spent considerable time upside down.
