George hugs the corner in order to make the sneak route on river left at Basalt Rapid. Matthew eddies out after successfully running this, his first rapid. Duncan and Matthew struggled with the overloaded NRS surf-cat most of the trip but survived. Common newbie mistakes were too little, too late, and an under-utilized back ferry. Just downstream was more lava dodging. Had a few river discussion meetings before deciding this neat rock wall made an excellent campsite at river mile 91.
