Long Way Down
| Description: | Sometimes getting to the rapids is more dangerous than the rapids themselves! On this dirt switchback bus rideto the put-in at Meral's Pool, SUVs were racing up the hill at 15 mph, almost careening over the side of the cliffs or crashing into the bus while we were descending into the canyon....on these one-way "roads" courtesy, cooperation, and slow speeds are critical to getting to the fun. | |||

60's. I can remember checking in at Bea's Nest in Groveland and heading for the" 5-6 Road" (that is
what the men called it). More than once we had to stack rocks in a wash-out to allow my Dad's 56
Buick to pass without falling down into that most xtreme gorge! Later I lived in Sonora and made
the trip down the 5-6 Road in my old 52 Chev PU. The road wasn't much better in '75! Beuatiful
country! I finally settled for Kodiak, Alaska. Nice country also. Edit
