Need to update that "last time I swam" category... :)
Man, I can relate to that big drop in the second gorge on Clear Cr. That drop and me don't get along. Been upside down there three times in seven runs. No swims there yet, but that boof into the eddy has not been my friend. :)
Well there was another swim back in the fall, but it was out of a Shredder. Jessica Curtis and I tried to squeeze it through the middle slot of Apple Pie but it didn't quite fit. Jessica acted as a cushion between me and the rock at the bottom, then we popped up in the pool below. Not as adventurous of a swim as the Clear Creek, nor the recent Twin Devil's episodes.
I'll know that the next one will come unexpectedly, but I can live with it as long as I don't have another Bear Creek episode.
Another Arkansas paddle with baller status. Although I think you may have reached the pinnacle of baller statusness before the concept was fully understood.
