Shoe Creek

A few of us made another run on Shoe on 12/1/10. The nearby Piney gauge was at 1200 and falling. We had a near-perfect level for Shoe. This time a couple of us chose to run the entire 'Herkheimer Falls' rapid, which has previously been a half-portage (seal-launch, slide-in on left bank into 2nd half of rapid). This is the one labelled 'death trap' in the Photos page. But this time we ran it from top to bottom on the left side. The extra water helped the top part, but made the hole at the bottom even more stout than on previous runs. Luckily we both made it through without issues. That is one less portage on this fun run.
