Dang look at that river page now.

Ben and Andrew, thanks again for sharing the beta. We all agreed that if this run had better access to the putin it would probably be a classic for our region. Regardless I can see it getting done quite frequently as long as it is not choked with wood.

Oh and feel free to change the names of the drops/rapids, I am not trying to name them just getting them listed so you or someone else can get that done. Everyone knows we don't need another Triple Drop or S-Turn in this state.

You might want to add that there is a lower run below the railroad tressel canyon. It is a class II-III run with a nice little classIII+ gorge to finish the run and is about another 4 miles of river.
 
I have run the lower section many times, it is an interesting little river.

There is a run listed in the database for that section already. But what your missing out on here is that there is a nice 2-4 miles of superb class III above that railroad trestle too.

So, all day today my nose has hurt. I've been massaging it asking myself "why does my nose hurt?" Then I read your comment and remembered.

Right around the time you grabbed the Devils Club and yelled, my boat came down on a fat tree limb that then smacked me in the head. I jerked away from it and somehow by shifting my weight a fat stalk of the Devils Club sprang up and smacked me hard in the nose. I see why they call it a club now. Ouch!

---cool little video, Tom!

It's really cool you guys had so much fun and like the run so much.
Have at it as far as naming the rapids, that's never been one of my specialties.
