 Usually you can't touch the bridge as you float under at the putin. This day we had to duck. |

 Tiny NRS raft guided by Mike Benevento with Tom, John, and Buzzsaw as his crew. A heavy load for this day. |

 Parked to scout the continuous section. Ended up walking 2 miles down, 2 miles back to the boats, then 5 miles to a vehicle. |

Boreas River - Part 1 of 2April 27, 2011 (Wed) The 100 year flood was coming and we chose the Boreas for our ramp-up day. Every river in the area broke all-time records. We made it about 5 miles before deciding to walk out. The water was higher than any of us had ever seen it and was rising. This would be the first of two aborted missions in 2011. Every trip is an adventure, but they don't always go as planned. This ended up to be a 3-day trip.
