Have you done the Foxton run? Is there an Arkansas creek it compares to?

I've only paddled the boulder garden on Foxton. Its just 1 class IV rapid. Below the boulder garden is a class II/III- section that runs into Waterton Canyon which is a class III section with really only 2 class III/III+ drops. Lots of newbs come out there, but you have to hike your boat out (about a mile of flat ground) back to your car. If you have paddled the Cossatot Falls, you should be fine on Waterton. Dont get caught in waterton with a creekboat though :oops: :oops:

@ Zach...i'm sure i'll see you down there Friday night, if not txt me when you are putting on. I'd like to paddle with ya again...been a while. Also, the next weekend is the Gore Race. If you are gonna be here, i'd love a little competition from Arkansas :poke2:

Team Stupid will be well represented. Foxton has the boulder garden (class 3+ to 4-) and then a couple miles of class 2+ and then a swift class 3+ half mile or so, if memory serves me right. I'd say it's Richland-esque, but I say that about pretty much everything. Me, Z-Dub, ATurnip, and Jermy will be warming up on Foxton Friday before portaging/chickening our way down Bailey Sat and Sun. Let's hook up out there for some runs and funs.
