Nooksak River - August 2008

For the past few weeks, I had been doing low water runs and taking all of the pictures I wanted while running rapids backwards and taking chances at going into holes sideways. The slightly higher flow on the Nooksak reminded me that I can't always get away with this. I swam about a third of the canyon because I was taking pictures rather than paying attention to the river. The swims were not difficult (at least not for me - Tom, on the other hand, had to wrangle my boat on the second flip).

There are two runs shown in the photos. The first run is Tom and me in IKs, and the second is Tom, Kathy, and me in the raft.
