We commented on the fact that these were different boaters than we normally ran with. Do not know that I've ever seen entire parties run class III rapids without PFD's before, but saw several this trip. Just a different crowd. Not highly risky, but felt uncomfortable watching this IK with the adult standing and a child in the front navigate these obstacles. Getting old I guess. With the number of pets aboard, could also call this Dog River. We were not happy camping here but once the sun went down, the site seemed tolerable.
