The legend of the dead cow goes something like this. …The corvallis duo that is EJ and James can usually be found exploring the Class V creeks of Oregon’s headwaters and drainages, but sometime last year they decided to go exploring a class II section of the N. Santiam.  Alas, 1/2 way down the run, EJ stumbled upon a dead cow in the water. But that wasn’t their only find, by any means. The wave next to the dead cow proved to be well worth the 7 miles of picturesque class II water.  I was lucky enough for them to share the location of the wave with me. Here are some photos from yesterday’s trip.
