Those are some really creative rapid names😀

I wish I could take credit for them, but I'm afraid I always defer to AW's names.

That was a fascinating look at Difficult Run. I liked the scouting views. You probably wished you could have run 4 and 5 with a larger crew and safety. Thanks for posting.

I want to see the cave at low water so that I understand the hazard before I run 5. We could have run 4, but you have to catch a micro eddy and then do some rock climbing with a boat to not run 5 if you do that, ha.

Looks like the first rapid would make a great slalom site at that level.

where are we here?

Difficult Run is on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. If you know the Potomac, it dumps into the main flow just below Virginia Chute. Put in: maps.app.goo.gl/RCroWPcJHruvjdANA AW: www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/view/river-detail/1930/main The AW photos and beta are for an obviously lower flow than when we were there.
