Blackwater, North Fork

Mike Shallenberg on North Fork

Go right down the center, stay away from the rock on the right and left.
What's not to smile about on a creek like this?
Left, left, left

4/7/03 -- Be aware of new wood in the put-in rapid. There's a beam that has lodged in the right hand slot at the bottom that most people run. The beam is bearly covered at 1.4 - 1.5 and wouldn't be seen above 1.6 or so, but would definitely be in play under the surface. There's also several trees in the Upper B, but most are easily seen and missed -- the one exception being a tree below Z-falls, which can be missed at the bottom left, but plan for the move.

Rainbow Room- Note Double Endemnity in the background and the pseudo seive/notch next to the guy setting safety.

The recent heavy rains in the Davis and Thomas area have resulted in some changes on the above streams.

On the North Fork, the log in 'Double Indemnity' is gone; also there is some wood in the rapid below 'Eye of the Needle,' some of the branches have been sawed off, but there may be one underwater in the drop. Also, some rocks have moved around, but nothing dangerous i think.

Mike - lame rail grab.
Somehow, this cracked a Micro under the seat...as if that hasn't happened before...

This is one of the best boofs in WV...imho.
This is a good boof to the right.
