Joe and his Duckie Attack Big Nasty
| Description: |
Joe Snow attacking Big Nasty in a duckie. While this is Joe's second time on the Cheat, it is his first time in a duckie and the first time taking on Big Nasty. Last year Joe ran the Cheat in a small raft that bypassed Big Nasty due to the water level. This year Joe got up close and personal with Big Nasty and muscled his was through with a perfect line. Not bad for a first timer, eh! The bad news was for the third weekend in a month mother nature did not provide enough rain to raft The Big Sandy and we had to fall back to the Cheat. The good news was mother nature did not provide enough rain to raise the Cheat level above the max for Duckies. While not at "The Beast of the East" level, it sure looked that way to six of us who did the Cheat in duckies - Joe Snow, his daughter Jess (Joe, did your wife know your daughter was going to do the Cheat and Big Nasty in a duckie?), three others we did not know and me, Kurt. And while Big Nasty was not up to its raft "chew you up and spit you out" level (see photo from 2004) it sure provided a wild ride and challenge to those who were low to the water and personal in a duckie. |
