RICHLAND CREEK FLOAT 3/25/10 |
Danny Hale and Dr. Andy Monfee |
||
We found an old house to get our dry suits on .... it was pouring down! |
...and this was not easy to get on! |
Now that we are dressed, on down to Richland Creek |
Out with the raft, on with the life vests |
We had her pumped up, and so were we! |
A few instructions from Dr. Monfee ..... |
There is NO turning back, once committed! |
||
....and off we go! |
Can you tell it was pouring down rain? It was! |
|
That's us way down there! |
||
Side drainage from the pouring rain |
I might say before you view more pictures .... I could not take any pics of the rapids |
|
It was much too dangerous! |
||
You try getting through that! |
||
Dr. Andy Monfee & Danny Hale |
A big waterfall up ahead, but first ...... |
|
This was one of the biggest waterfalls |
....and those are just some of the rocks we have to miss! |
Side waterfalls everywhere |
Richland Creek Falls |
We just came over those falls |
Bye, bye, Richland Creek Falls |
From Richland Creek Falls to the bridge it was fast pace because of Devil's Fork and Falling Waters adding to our water. There was NO time... but to try and stay afloat! |
We made it to the bridge |
... and time for a high five! |
Thanks Dr. Monfee for my first "white water" raft trip down Richland Creek. |
Letting the air out of our raft |
You get it out anyway you can |
This is on Thursday ... and there were a lot of folks out |
Brenda is surprised we made it? |
Dr. Monfee's mascot |
Or maybe she is surprised she made it with our shuttle. |
||
Some of these folks were planning on doing it again tomorrow. |
Maebre ... our other shuttle person. |
Whose laughing now? .... now that is it over ...I can laugh! |
