River Description

To my knowledge, this has been run exactly once, on 4/9,00, although I wouldn't be surprised if there had been other 'first descents.' It's narrow and slow and so full of trees, strainers, and logjams that I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. There are three ledgy waterfall-like drops, though, so it's not a total loss. Kinda fun floating through people's backyards, too.

It was cold and snowy on this April day, hence the apparent lack of sharpness in the photo.

Yeah, it was a miserable, snowy day. One guy broke his boat near the putin. We fought off strainers all the way down the river, for the sake of three drops. We all near'bout froze to death.

...But we put a new river in our quiver, and ain't that what it's all about?
