River Grades - Rafts vs Kayaks
Having walked off high-flood 5's on winter N CA water - never along the road
(can you spell "dragging boats up 200 foot cliffs with throw ropes and/or walking miles in wet tennies in the rain across hill country farmers meadows dragging your boat behind you "). I concluded that I was a true dolt, since I let it happen more than once a year. Good exercise though. And we were always so happy to be out of the river. Then, of course, there were the spring and summer shallow exploratory 2's that turned into rocky 5's and impassible 6's. "No, let's scratch that one off the possible list." "Nice day, though." "Lovely boat hike." The lesson: take good comrades along. John Adams "Dave Manby" wrote in message ... I always liked the way of describing grades as grade 1 take the mother in law grade 2 take the girlfriend grade 3 take the wife grade 4 take the mistress grade 5 take the photographs grade 6 take the mother-in-law Change to suit your sex old joke I know but someone might not have heard it -- Dave Manby Details of the Coruh river and my book "Many Rivers To Run" at http://www.dmanby.demon.co.uk |
