Float Down Narrows after Imlay
We finished Imlay in a very light rain. After Greg and I had dropped into the Narrows, it started to downpour. Chapin and Tom had to rappel down in the heavy rain.
I have never been in the Narrows in a full thunderstorm. It was outstanding. The pour offs begin to flow and the river rises to where it is mostly floatable. The Narrows are best viewd from your back.
I still get giddy thinking of how much fun I had!

Looks like a blast! Where were all of the crowds of foreign tourists?
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Ok, I'll admit it. If I were there and water started pouring into the narrows from above either by rain or pour-offs, I likely would have soiled myself. The Virgin river has such a huge drainage and a direct storm above would have made me a bit.... no strike that, a whole lot scared. I am a lot less nervous in certain circumstances than I would have been a few years ago after studying maps, the dynamics of flash floods and so forth but the Virgin still is the scariest place for me given the unknown above and up stream. Kudos to the cool heads. You would have seen a new speed record set by me from Imlay to the Temple had I been there with you.

I once was stuck in a river bed in Moab in my truck and was digging myself out when I saw a flooded river coming down, within seconds I was in 2 feet of water and nothing I could do. I swear I worked that shovel faster than I ever worked with my hands before. The flash flood is a dangerous thing for sure.
