One of the better, cleaner drops near the end of this section on North Fork Willow Creek.
This biggest waterfall on the run has now been descended a few times. Dan seemed think it was just fine!
Charge past the log out onto the rock to avoid the undercut. Then enjoy a steep slide into pool.
Overview of entrance to Whack Whack, a big ledgy falls. This comes very early in the run.
Dan's boat produced a loud distinctive sound at this point in the falls.
Typical slalom rapids just upstream of the Rocket Flume.
One of the most distinctive rapids on this section. An amazing narrow sluice, ending in a flight off a waterfall.
Dan Hogg and Daniel Lundberg ready to launch onto NF Willow Creek near Bass Lake California. Yes, that is snow in the background, and the camera imprinted 5:01 PM as the time. What were we thinking?
A wide shot just to give a better sense of the terrain and to show the whole rapid.
Passing the undercut was not a problem.
This picture makes the backwash look impressive, but it was not a big deal at this flow. Our speed was so great that we blasted through and sped across the pool.
Just picking up speed at this point.
