Son of Maytag 1st person POV. - 140 4071
Right before pull-out, Bryan, Ali, and Doug jump out of the raft and float a bit. - 140 4069
After we got through Maytag, Bryan sprints back up to get a video of Ryan's raft going over. They lose someone, but she gets pulled back in in no time. - 140 4067
Bryan stuffs the camera into his PFD for a first-person(ish) perspective of Maytag. - 140 4065
Debreifing for "Maytag" (guess where the name comes from), the biggest rapid (class "4+") on our trip. It was pretty intimidating, but at this point it was around a corner so we had no reason to be concerned. - 140 4062

Bryan, Ali, and Doug's raft heading out after lunch. - 140 4053
The camera is passed off to Ryan for the section above Maytag. - 140 4041
Crazy balancing tree. - 140 4036
The water, all snow melt, was clear and beautiful. This is gold-rush country, and there are actually still quite a few people who stake claims and dredge enough gold out of the river to make a meager living. - 140 4032
Surfing. Just after going over a rapid, we paddled hard back to it and sort of lodged the raft in the eddy underneath it. It was fun--it filled up various parts of the raft with water. Kind of a mini version of dangerous eddies on larger rapids. - 140 4033
Escaping the eddy (hear Doug grunt!) - 140 4030
