Everyone's a little nervous. We all portage.	Except Udo, who keeps upright, but barely	in the swirly brown high water
And it gets busy again down below!	Enjoying the eddies we can, when we can	"Ignorance is bliss," they say
Peeling out paddle raft style	Down some measly stuff to Labyrinth	Laurel's Swimming Hole up ahead .
Laurel swims again later	Who's the crab now?	Jungle paddling on the "River of Crabs" rocks!
Or should I say "River of Gigantic Boulders"?	"Enormous Rocks"?	"Mucho Rocks"?
Scouting the upper run on a day off	Subway drop, Class 5+	On the Class 3 lower run: Lava I
Scouting Lava II - the only Class 4 drop on the lower	A good level for a few hits	Taking the last hit
