Description

Nothing special here. Just another shot, closer to the action. Here, I'd probably be knee deep in water pre-flood - and that's if I could keep standing. Faemike55, if you really want to go rafting or toobin', you'd probably end up getting hurt and the ride wouldn't last long. The water's much shallower than it used to be and by the time the water reaches the bridges (maybe 100 feet or so away), it's slowed down quite a bit. The area's kind of rocky, so I wouldn't even dare attempt it and I don't know if anyone ever did before the flood when the water levels were higher and things moved long faster (and kept going until much further down the river).

I'm with faemike55, break out the diesel innertubes and let's hit this wave! LOL... Reading what you wrote up there, I'm feeling you've never gone tubeing... I did it religiously for a couple back to back summers.... I went with my family and friends. On the average, there was 10 of us... and what's tubeing without rocks??? I guess I have to tell you, I live in THE ROCKIES - lol.... there was only one rock that use to bite... if it got you once, you knew where it was - the water had a suction spot but looked clear on the surface. this suction would pull you straight down and there was a pointed rock that would slam into your tailbone... you'd be in so much pain and less than a horseshoe pit (40ft) away was a 10 ft waterfall... so needless to say, we'd set people up to "feel the rock" LOL and watch them struggle going over the waterfall - LOL... I think every person I went tubeing with got poked by that rock - LOL ... if I was still tubeing there today, I would nick name that spot "THE DEVIRGINIZER" lol
