3 - 1/7/2012 - Green River Gorge

Flows came down during the week and we ended up with just under 1200 for Saturday. We had a group of 5 IKs, putting in at the fishing access near the Palmer hatchery. Things went smoothly until a few rapids below Let's Make a Deal. One person broached on a rock and flipped after getting unstuck. At the bottom of the next rapid, this person got in front of me and got stopped by a wave, which resulted in me getting sideways in that wave and I flipped. In the lower gorge, I flipped on another wave. I got back into my boat quickly each time, but I was glad I didn't have my helmet camera on.

The last hour or so was very cold, and we were happy to get to the takeout and get warmed up.
