Trip Report

Click: See The Original File, to make it look like I meant for you to see it. We were standing on millions of tiny clam sea shells, it was a pretty random discovery I would say.It is said that the Gorge sometimes reaches 200 feet in height.
It Appears that the flood altered S-turn quite well because the island looks totally different, and I swear that it had a huge tree in the middle of it and it's gone now. What this has done is made the wave train allot furthor, meaning more humps. My brother said he went over the island and even ran over some small tree's, bending them strait down, and almost popped his raft. There were still 4 hydrolics in a row on the right side, but the first one seemed allot smaller to me.
