Alex scored some more Westwater Canyon river permits and was nice enough to invite me again, along with our new friends Jay and Stephanie.
The river was @ 5,000 cfs yesterday on our run. We launched around 10 am, stopped for a quick snack at the Little Hole campground, started into the rapids just before 2 pm, and took out of the river around 5 pm.
Alex's new inflatable canoe did great through the whitewater. We didn't feel unstable or "too small" to run any of the rapids.
Jay had quite the setup on his custom boat, very nice. They fed us a great lunch as well.
Video (for now, I may edit it still)

Here are some stills from the video footage.
Me, once I find out we're really going over it....

Here are some of the photos from the trip. Alex and I both had our helmetcams going :haha: should be some great video. Maybe I can even get it to you today.
