Trip Report

ReporterPatrick Dortch

Sweetwater Creek (Online Guage) reached 4ft. that day. This is the 1st big drop on the run
Me playing in and trying to stay clear of the other side of PutIn Hole.
Mike & Dale paddling through the playspot-rich Powerline Rapid
About to drop into 1 of the many great waves in PowerLine on Annewakee Creek.
This is the biggest rapid on the run. Running far river left was NOT an option. The hole at the bottom is strong.
Mike getting ready to run the middle line on PowerSLAM!
Mike demonstrates excellent form mid-drop.
Shallow rock shelf... SLAM! It gets ugly from here.
The shallow rock shelf has pointed poor mike a little far to the right :(
I think a creekboat would have been able to pull away from this but a Disco.... Uh, no.
Not a good situation to be in.
As soon as he started to wash free, Mike decided to go for a swim. Not a good place to swim. Dale gets ready to throw him a rope.
Mike throws in the towel and heads for shore.. Hey mike, where's your boat going?? 2 miles downstream. THIS has been a Disastro moment.
