| Lyles below Second Island Drop |
The rain brought the rivers up on Monday and Tuesday, but by Friday flows were getting pretty skimpy. Lyles and I decided it would be worth it to run the Middle Middle in the mid-700s. The river was foggy and the leaves had just started to change. We had plenty of water, and it made some of the rapids very challenging - not big water, but very technical.
The photo shows the rapid named Second Island Drop, which used to be a good name for the rapid, but it doesn't really fit now. Like First Island Drop, the "island" is gone. Unlike First Island Drop, Second Island Drop has actually gotten more challenging since it lost its island.
