Flapjack Falls First Descent out of order September 2008

I forgot to add this to the timeline. This had been swam in by todd since he was a kid. When he talked about this "awesome 22 foot fall" first descent possibility that was roadside, i was skeptical. His definition of roadside is different than most people's. After we hit this, word got out fast! we now have several groups of people wanting to probe this but not willing to due to wood. When we ran it we put in well above the falls and there was a few trees that made things interesting. One flushed to the lip and got cut .. but fell into the pool! the creek is full on all the way to the confluence.

Scouting in April. Waiting for the rain
Flapjack Falls, the day of the goods.

At the lip

droppin it


Actual trip: September 2008, after several inches of rain the farmer's pond came up high enough to spill over and create our wonderland. It was gushy that day and the curtain was surging off the lip. There were no eddies to catch .. even over 100 yards upstream so bracing was a must. This was a long awaited first D .. over a year of planning.
