Wow!!! That trip might refine your skills, but it certainly tests your nerve!
Makes me think of Glen Wooldridge who was a pioneer of running such rapids, starting with the Rogue River in southern Oregon. He lived in Grants Pass, Oregon, where I grew up, and my dad bought plans for a wooden sled boat from Glen. My dad and I built a boat from those plans in the early 1970’s and I still have it and my son uses it. His family operates Wooldridge Boats in Washington state. Their website has a great historical timeline starting in 1915.
Awesome video. Thank you for this.
