Back in time at Jim Moore's place

Saturday: That's me posing next to the historical marker on one of several buildings still standing at Jim Moore's Place.
It was a day of big rapids. Bailey, named after Robert G. Bailey, author of River of No Return, was one of the biggest rapids to this point. 5 Mile Rapid and its enormous corkscrew hole in the center and sheer rock wall on the right. Split Rock Rapid, another Class III, splitting the big waves between the massive rock in the middle and the cluster of smaller ones on the right. Next was Big Mallard around a blind left bend that we ran on the left side, squeezing the gap between rocks on the left and the giant hole at the bottom. Elkhorn was next, the longest rapid on the river, more like three rapids sewn together. Most exciting was taking the left side of Elephant Rock, a massive boulder in the middle. Two miles later we beached our boats so we could explore Jim Moore's place. I'll tell you more in my next post.
