Spring Trip on the Top Tye
| Reporter | Thomas O'Keefe |
Levels were great for a trip on the Top Tye so Pete Westman, Boris, Mike Rausch, Eric, Mark Corsentino, and I got together for a trip of the full run. The stretch down to Monkey Cage Falls was fun but required a couple of really tricky portages. They were doable but one required a leap onto floating logs. We all portaged Monkey Cage Falls but then lined up to take our turns at Crack in the Earth. Mike managed to make it through, but the rest of us all got pushed left and swam in the hole. Pete elected to take the sneak route down the right and made it through without incident. At the next ledge Mike swam. We continued down and portaged Log Choke Falls and then put-in to run Box Drop. We had a great run the rest of the way down.
