Trip Report

ReporterJeff Macklin

Tommy exiting 'Tommy's Hole'.
Yes, This is the Tommy the hole was named after.
I asked Tom McEwan how the hole got his name. He said that he leading a group through the unnamed rapid. He became bow to stern pinned in the rocks at the narrow exit of the hole. He was like a rotisserie. His buddies, unable to stop, ran over & under him.
Charlie said, 'Rapids are not usually named after someone for good things happening, unless you are John Sweet'.
