"woody" I had to laugh!


Seems that Curtain Falls area overturns several canoes each year? Glad it wasn't your "woody". LOL


Thanks for taking the time to share your story.

Sometimes it's fun to mix it up and travel with new people.

Nice report - and yes I too understand the risks below those falls!

Glad you caught some fish to counter the tough weather and having a good time with new friends is always a bonus. Thanks for sharing!

Freshwater is delicious! Saltwater not so much..

I don't remember the name. I hadn't heard of it before. A small patch had been there last year, but was gone this year.

I'd love to scuba dive sometime when the water is low and the underwater visby is higher and see all the stuff on the bottom just downstream of the little pinch you have to shoot to get to the port to Crooked. It has to be one of the most capsized spots in the park.
