Like I said earlier, it wasn't so big I had problems taking pictures. I could have even parked my paddle and used both hands on the camera if I'd wanted to.

It was the biggest, baddest water that some of the folks in the party had ever seen, though, and for their sake, I'm glad it was only as big as it was.

It was large enough for them to negotiate successfully, but not so big that they got panic-stricken...everyone stayed quite relaxed and paddled through it--I was certainly proud of them!

Like Ted said earlier, it was his wife Holly's first time in the really rough stuff in her new boat, which wasn't outfitted yet...she did quite well.

Bring on the 4-footers next year!!!!
