......until the next descent
A few of us hit this 3/4 mile section of whitewater right outside of Philadelphia - turned out to be a great stretch of III-IV - makin for a fun day on the water.
I did a quick day edit last night - turned out alright for an 1hr edit -

We were joking about how it was the 'last descent' because a ranger found us afterwards - and asked us how runs were - then kindly let us know that we couldn't put on or take-out on county land.....he also gave us the "beta" on the run... that it ran at 700 feet for mile...

looking quick and smooth grabbing the offside Tommy. What is this run? Good practice shoulder boofs to hit.

Nice video. Fun to see you really driving the boat and nailing the cross strokes.
