Jed, are you talking about Ledge Drop 1, just as you enter the park area for the Upper Gorge? The first rapid you would paddle if you put in IN the park?

I think that's the one, if not it describes it exactly. It's quite a surprise when you catch the eddy and start sliding backwards towards the sieve.

Yep, LD1. That sieve opens back up every few years...

I wonder if some rocks shifted with the last high water too. Last time I was there we saw a big rooster tail in the bottom of the left side of the ledge on river right. Didn't remember seeing it before.
Edit: point was that it looked like a pin potential, and not all that visible from above.

Ya, thats wicked little eddie now. It almost pooks like a kayak could fit in the tunnel too, or got stuck like Winni the Pooh bear in the honey cave.

yeah, that first rapid that you run directly after putting in at the park. Nasty looking little bugger, beware of anyone who has swims above that thing.
