Nice sound effects.

Hahaha thanks! I think they're funny to add

I ran that stretch of river probably 50 times or more back in the 1990s. I didn't recognise any rapids other than the falls. they don't look quite as high any more. try running it at flood stage, it only takes about an hour and a half, if that. get wild and run the stretch above. only 6 or 7 waterfalls, a couple you have to hit just right.

Flood stage looks like a great time

[@ZachMacKayak]

Flood stage takes 15 minutes!

Husum next time.. maybe. Steelhead never looks inviting.

Classic run. Once I swam out of my playboat at Husum and my bare foot touched the bottom under the falls, never will forget that
