Yesterday, Mel and I had the chance to run one of the top whitewater rivers in the world with friend Dana Kopf and many others. We had a big trip with three rafts and 8 kayaks. I unfortunately managed to forget the camera, so there are no photos, but suffice it to say we had a wonderful time with beautiful weather and classic boating. The gorge is granite, unspoiled except by a narrow gauge railroad, and surrounded by 4,000m peaks. We even extended the trip by running the Rockwood Box, a seldom rafted class V gorge that may be the most spectacular portion of the trip. Rockwood was the only place our group experienced any carnage with one kayaker taking a swim in Mandatory Thrashing. The trip concludes with a mile-long uphill hike, especially fun with rafts.
