commented 3 months agoJust ran across the slide. the wife took the photo as we floated down the river until after we were able to get out of the canyon. She went for help but we were out and on the road home before help arrived. We were all experienced river runners and were prepared for the worst.

commented 3 months agoThis home built canoe had made several trips down the river but this one in lower water proved fatal to the boat. We all were safe and were expert canoe paddlers but an 6 foot drop on to a rock in low water split the boat in half. Had to hitch hike down to Hart Park where our ride was waiting. Nov 1978
