Bull Run

For a recent video of Bull Run featuring the ZoneDogg, check out this link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ7F2gDvo5A&feature=related

This one was described by Zone Doggy Dogg in the Jan/Feb. 2001 American Whitewater. He says that a good part of the last mile goes at a 500'/mile pace. Screaming craziness! He describes a good number of rapids which must be scouted and/or portaged due to undercuts and/or logjams. Enjoy it if you must...

The drops come at you fast, the eddies are small, the undercuts are gnarly, and trees are always a constant danger (You mess with the Bull, you get the HORNS!). However, for the hardcore creeker, there are few streams this good!

Brutus is next and is a very steep series of tight obstructed drops. It starts with an easy approach drop leading into a 6 foot boof with a mena
