Down We Go

Report

Account This is the view as you get ready to go through the long tube under the railroad. You'd better scout this first - as a 10 foot sloping drop awaits you at the other end. No there aren't 64,000 ledges on this creek, but it feels like it. This is one of the top tier. This is a nice 10 foot sloping ledge that conjures memories of the not so far away Swallow Falls on the Youghigheny River. Who knows if it already has a name, but an event the day we were there has us thinking Ron's Rugburn. This is the middle of a long rapid that includes several kinds of chutes and slides. One of the ledges is broken and has the bedrock peeking through looks like teeth. This is the middle of a long rapid that includes several kinds of chutes and slides.
