Today i went up to the middle santiam to run the class 4 section…thats only 2 miles long, but well worth being paddled. The one down side with this section is the put-in which is a long walk down a road and then through some blackberries that are rather vicious. The rapids are very fun though and the best is the last which is called concussion. The rapid starts out with some hole dodging and ends in a chaotic array of holes and waves. Overall it was a very fun day, and when i returned to eugene i went to a play spot called cotton candy and had some more fun!
