EJ, John, Paul, Nate, and I took a low water run down Foxton, it was the first run of the year for Paul and Nate. Flow was reading 300 ish on Eddyflower but that had to be off as it was super low when we put on. Everybody had a great time, Paul started out a little nervous but knocked out some nice combat rolls.

Bailey 5/10/08

John, Justin, and I ran Bailey with Paul H and some of his crew. This was the first trip down Bailey for John and I so we were pumped to get on it. Level was around 250ish which turned out to be a great level for a first time run in my opinion. We all walked the first drop of Four Falls but ran the lower three, line was left to right at the top and right to middle thru the bottom. Next up were the Steeps which were a blast, we came up on some wood on the last drop that some of the crew tried to dislodge with no luck. The rest of the run was pretty much class III+ except Super Max and Deer Creek which I wound up walking.

Ed, John, Nate, CB and Paul took a work-night run down Foxton. The water was pretty high for Foxton. The Boulder Gardens were pretty washed out with all lines going. There was some nice laterals, pushy water, and squirrelly water. Paul swam in the second drop, and there were a few rolls from Ed and CB. We recovered Paul’s boat at the bottom of the Boulder Gardens - thanks to Nate and Johnny!

Foxton was also pretty friendly at this level with just about everything washing out. There was some more rolling from CB, Paul, and Ed. CB had some nice combat rolls in mid-rapid fashion.

Ed, John, and CB ran Lower Mish through Bridges. Great level - CB ran Cardiac Corner with no scout this time - left center right between the holes. It was also CB’s first run down Pine View Falls, punching the bottom hole with style. The line at this level is left - left center, very freindly.
