Jay and I finally checked out the falls last night.
We ran what I assume to be rebar alley. The water was
fast and scrapy on this day. There were a few little
waves but nothing special for surfing. We slowly, as
slowly as we could, made our way down the 400 yard
stretch. It goes by very quickly. Next time we want
to check out the lower site. Not too bad of a spot.
We'll be back.

Dam to Camp to Dam
20cfs
Beastie led Tim, Toby, Zach and I up and down the mighty Fork this past weekend. This was a send off trip for Zach, his last Kentucky wilderness trip. He shoves off to Hawaii soon. The water was low, so we couldn't make our planned route of 49 to 31e a reality. But quick on our feet we decided to go from the dam up and then back the next morning. This worked perfectly. Plenty of water held back from the dam.
I also found the perfect route through the dam to modify. We need to move 8 rocks to the side and build up a small ledge. It would be a great chute and ledge drop when water runs through it. A wench on a tree and a long cable could get the job done.
