Trip Report

ReporterBill Kirby

The Savage at 3000 is something else. Big bouncy ride through big waves and holes, but you better not swim; look at the trees.
This was the big water Savage race, with the dam running at full capacity and water coming over the spillway. Only the brave raced that day.
