I stand corrected! Tom, my friend told me when we did it last year it was at 5.3 not 4.3. The waves were bigger then as I suspected with less small wave intervals, however, the funnel was easier with waves washing out a lot of the holes and ledges. Next time, I'm going straight down the middle.

PS - I got to shore by myself - Matt rounded up the boat - Dan watched.

I say if the lowers is still up - we go there again. The Funnel is the balls!

Jeff, I think Tom said he can make it next weekend.

Thanks for the great report Tom. I was sad that I wasn't able to do both sections this time, but I'll run the lower section sometime I'm sure. The funnel sounds more aggressive and technical than Paul made it out to be - sounds like the kayaks had some trouble staying upright through the holes.

The upper section was a nice run through a beautiful section of forest. There were some rocks to dodge, but most of them were under water. There were some standing waves, but not too many huge ones. No real drops, just a consistent gradient with rocks to whip up the foam. Eric and Andy took swims but it turned out OK. Only one section of flatwater that was quickly passed. Andy brought a professional C1 playboater who was doing all sorts of great tricks while running the river - he was a lot of fun to watch.

I took some video of the run - it's at the top of my Youtube page.

What's up for next weekend - Westfields? Hopefully we can all agree on the same river this time. :)
