Ran what I think was the upper upper today. From NF21 to the fr23 bridge. Not sure if it was the entire run or?

Not too sure. Took out at fr-23 bridge after putting in from nf-21. Took a left onto nf-21 from nf-23 and went several miles then drug down to the river from a spur road off right.

Yeah, definitely sounds like you ran the upper upper.

 Did you run Behemoth? That would be a good pretty hard to miss and be a good indicator.

The hole after the big drop is what gave me doubt i might have pulled out early. I read behemoth has a cave of river left. But i didnt see that, and the room between the biggest drop and the hole just after wasnt too wild,the hole after wasnt as dramatic either. It was a hell of a stretch though! Pretty sure i grew some hair on my chest in there.

Sure enough, sounds like what i remember.

Haha! Also thanks for asking the question, reading that report reminded me of that trip!
I made a helmet cam with a battery pack under my skirt, a bullet cam on my head and one rca cable that fed a camcorder behind my seat.
I need to convert to digital...
I knocked it off my head n broke the bullet cam that day. Never used it after :P

I watched that video and the one from a little after that one a few times. you kill it man!

Headed back out there today! All that rain last night prolly helped her pad out a little more.
No cellphone so anyone intereted ill be hanging around the NF-23 bridge till 12 then heading to the put in!

I think you were on the upper and lower. Unless you ran a thirty foot drop and sort of forgot about it along with a couple other mentionable rapids upstream. The eight footer was likely a sloped white lightening. Adams fork is the traditional put in for the upper upper. You would have known it if you were on there.

Here is the shuttle

Here is Behemoth

If you put in at the coordinates you listed, you put in above Island Drop and would've run Behemoth. I suspect you put in somewhere downstream from the campsite since even Island drop is pretty memorable.

Yes. Both sides can be run. Looks like you boosted off behemoth like a speed bump with nary a second thought. Cool. There shouldn't be any lack of flow in there right now.

Not at all, more realistically I tried to come off as more mellow than necessary, since every time previously on PP I've tried to boast I've gotten equally as much blow back. I didnt have anyone to reference beta from, & somewhere in the past two weeks lost my bennett book, but did scout half a dozen spots along NF-21 and then decided to finally put in where it seemed obvious & easiest.
Lack of regard for safety is a personal issue & not one I excersize among a group, alas that issue goes hand in hand with my inability to ever find a paddling partner, since I started paddling & since I joined PP.

So again my mistake for playing stupid, hoping to gain some notoriety, & fostering trying to glorify stumbling upon a big run half assed & going for it.

I was aware of what possibly lie in wait just not all the logistics, guess im just alienating myself more.
