These two vids were taken at about the same time.
The first video shows a WS Commander 120 getting "Taco'd" by Brooks Falls' water discharge.
listen to the 3:05 mark......"Oh, your boat's folded bro"
movie 1
we recovered all the gear except a boot. pretty good.
and the rear end view
movie 2.
Class III,
I had a sit on top, so I was fine. but the two guys that filmed were in Canoes....they made it.
But Commander was destroyed with a 16 inch gash in it.....we melted and duct taped the boat and it made it another 21 miles.
Overall:
3 night trip
26 miles
only 2 smallmouth caught.
either way....great trip.

but at least we didn't do it at night like we did on the Dan.

We always debate about that:
Get out of the river when it's lighting up. Trees all around.
or
Stay in the river by the bank and you are lower than anything else.
I think if it's your time to go, it's your time to go; I suppose.
