Kinda cool. Had to drive back home and get to work but it was good to see boaters.

Can we order a shirt in advance. I’m hoping to make it there to help but with the kids’ schedules, I honestly don’t know if we can do it. Sending in my raffle tickets but can I also send in a check too to get a shirt or is it all done via PayPal.

It’s a nice float with a few minor rapids. WildCat is the signature rapid and the guy above is right. There was a rock slide and you should scout it. but beyond that, the river is class I-II.

We have been there and while I hate the walk in and out (I carry all the boats), it’s not a bad place to learn.

From the video, it appears that you aren’t going with the flow of the water as you come down the drop. On the other hand, combat rolls in front of a crowd are always good for the ego.
