Day 4 - Mathers Camp to Box Elder 2 Camp.
No matter if looking
forwards
or
backwards
, it was good on the river....until we scouted
Warm Springs Rapid
. At 17,000 CFS, this was a formidable rapid. Made the biggest mistake as trip leader and
scouted/discussed
far, far too long. Time slipped away as did our confidence. Finally we just ran the only route possible. The same one we've seen a dozen times on YouTube. It was all good.
7 boats in, 7 boats out, 0 swimmers
. Missing the
eddy at Warm Springs Camp
had been a concern all trip and turned out to be well founded.
