New England Part 3: What creek am I describing?

Well...its a one mile long rapid that drops 600ft. Not specific enough for you? Ok...here we go.

1) Hike one mile up well worn trail on river left with boat. Scout well as you hike because you may not be getting out of your boat till the bottom.

2) Put on and run manky double water fall.

3) Dodge strainer

4) Run class V bolder garden while dodging strainers

5) Run the "notch" (Green narrows) twice in quick succession and then duck under log as you go over lip of "Big Boy" (Ravens Fork). Recover gear in boil below.

6) Run class V bolder garden and dodge strainers.

7) Run more class V with lots of strainers.

8) Run "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" (Ravens Fork) leading straight into slide even bigger and longer the "Mike Tyson's Punch Out".

9) At bottom of epic slide, do not stop (because you can't there is no pool or eddy), and run class V bolder garden.

10) End

If you guessed Cascade Brook (I scouted it at HIGH water) in NH, You are right!

Tell him what he has won Johnny!

Congratulations! You just won a pair of broken legs and testicles the side of globes!

In case you were wondering, I did not run it. But I guess people have run it. I really doubt they ran it at this level though. Here is the AW link. It does this creek NO JUSTICE!

Here are some pics from that day
