Many thanks to Mike for leading the Little Beaver Creek trip and taking all the neat photos. Even though the water level was at paddling zero, it was a superb day on the river. It was really interesting to see hundreds and hundreds of large fish, mostly carp. Glad that you weren't scared off by the low water, Mike.
And just some commentary on the pictures of the log where the paddler was pinned and later flushed under it during last year's trip...Had she been pinned anywhere from five to seven feet to the right (where Jonathan and Mike are sitting on the log), it's very likely there would have been a tragic outcome, assuming that the debris that is very firmly lodged under the log was there at the time. And there is every reason to believe that it was. Thank goodness no one was hurt.
