Day 4 - Mathers Camp to Box Elder 2 Camp.

The new rockfall plus flow had the left side of the river impassable. The middle had Maytag. The flow also had the bottom island underwater and swimming over it would be brutal. You can just see the tops of shrubs and rocks in the photo. When one boat couldn't make the eddy, we improvised and selected Box Elder #2. The dory trip we had been sharing the river with also switched and selected #3 as the parking was quite difficult for #1. It was much easier to joke and laugh after the rapid. In the tent that night, the flashback slideshow ran uncontrolled and unstoppable through my mind.
