The first run with Gaston and Layla felt like about 400 cfs thanks to the extra water Beech Creek was dumping into the river. A guy dislocated his shoulder at Split Decision before we got there. Lucky for him John Fuller, Mack, and Mike were there to help him get across the river and to hike out to the road. Those guys deserve some good karma over that. By the time we got to the scene they were out of their boats and were walking through the yard of the closest house on river left. We were not sure what was going on but they gave us the everyone's ok helmet tap which we saw as our exit signal and proceeded to run Vernon's Folly which was incredibly fun, the eddy was exceptional at this level.

After driving Gaston and Layla back to the put-in, I waited for a little over an hour before Alex showed then Michael and Brian also made an appearance. We had a great group for a 2nd run. Milton ran the van back to the takeout for us and we were set. The level was at least 25 cfs lower but still a great level.
