Where is the Article? Talking about the Wood river? What upper section are you talking about, Falls River section? That is fun at flood level, but a lot of blow downs. Often I'll poll up it.

I think he is talking about the Upper Millers story in the May Paddler (page 7).

I borrowed Duke's (somewhat facetious) quote about the dam run from the message board post.

Maybe I'll try it next time.

Oh... the beginning of the Upper Millers... yeah, that broken dam looks like a pretty good ride, but at the levels I've seen it at (higher than this year's run) it looked like a very retentive hole. I remember a little chute on the left of the hole that looked like a good option.
