The real heroes were the Harpersfield and Geneva fireman and emts/paramedics who came quickly by boat to rescue the guy, get him back to the park to the waiting ambulance and then to the hospital. And the fireman who happened to live on the cliff above all this, who offered to pick us up at a better location down stream (by the waterslides) since we knew we wouldn't make it to Hidden Valley before dark after the couple hour delay. Our experience with 911 itself was not very good at all, but the rescue team was great.

I'm just glad our last minute decision to kayak Friday evening after work occurred since no one else was on the river that night to find him. We were just in the right place at the right time. I'm hoping the guy is doing well & that they or he figured out who he is so they could contact his family.
