Scouting Granite Rapid at mile 93.

Earl trying to keep his firewood dry while slamming through Granite.
|
No way to skirt the big stuff in Granite. Lisa took these pictures of Bob and Alex starting into it.
|
Staying lined up...
|
Almost through...
|
And coming back to shore.
|
Jill kayaking in Granite. No doubt, smiling all the way.
|
Our wet camp at 96 Mile Creek.
|
It was raining down on the river, but snowing not too high above us.
|
You can see Konor here at one of the big holes of Crystal Rapid, but it's a little harder to see Amy. She's really good and, where most of us try to avoid holes like this, she loved playing in it.
|
Jeff pulling hard away (see the bow in his oar) from the Crystal holes.
|
Earl and Kim bobbing calmly through and making it look so easy.
|
Bob and Alex heading in. The plan is to try and pull into the green water but not hit the rocks in the foreground.
|
Fortunately, as planned.
|
Likewise, here comes Al and James.
|
The "Yam Barge" rockin' through Crystal.

Alex manning the bow line.
