One more run before it goes away for another year. We decided to camp at the put-in and get up and charge it the next day. So we arived sat. afternoon and proceeded to hike our boats down the trail so we didn't have to deal with it the next day. The next morning we ran shuttle really fast...and made it on the water by 1pm.

Luke jumped the cliff first and hit bottom on the landing. Mike went and same thing so everyone else went for the rappel. Keel went over to river left and launched off the cliff into the base of the drop. Definitely deep there!
