We had fun TW. Took a trip down the Hi on 5200 cfs. Double the normal flow. It smoothed out the rough spots, but was still a alot of water. We dropped the ledge far left at Big Bend... goof fun.
I will post picks later.

I can't believe you were able to drop the left ledge, that must have been a little exciting! Man, I wish I would have went now, just for the boat ride!

Getting caught up in the whirlpool at Bigme's was even more eventful...
That thing had about a foot deep center. I rolled the boat to the right of the big rock, slid into the eddy to get a good swing or two through the deep hole there. I got sucked back into the whirlpool and the force of the water pulled the boat down and wouldn't let me go for a sec. I cranked forward as hard as I could and luckily that whirlpool fluctuates. So it spit me pretty quick.
It was one of the craziest sensations I have had in a drifter in sometime.

Delayed Harvest Rainbow - caugh on a suspended zonker dragging the bottom Me and Blake kicking it below the steps. I have been friends with this guy for over 20 years, it was good to spend my 40th with him. Devil Shoals at full throttle. The white cap ended up down at the swimming whole on this run.
