Big and beefy is the way we like our rapids!
This is at the bottom hole. If there is any good place to swim on the Lower Meadow this is it. You are past the huge undercut (I am standing on it to shoot video) and you have some slack water to round up gear.
This is a close up looking into the cave.
This is the infamous cave in Coming Home. On the right side around 90% of the water is going into the cave. Even at low water you cannot see an exit out of there. SICK!
This slot is the crux move in Coming Home. Mess it up and.....well, refer to the rapids name. Remember, 99% of the people who do this run walk this rapid. This is one rapid I am glad to shoulder my boat.
