Adventures from found footage: Testing the Stomper on Yellow Creek
I was sifting through my hard drive and stumbled across a few extra morsels of Stomper prototype goodness. These tidbits came from a day when we were doing the classic chase the rain around looking at rivers that were too high or in the case of the Santeetlah the gate was locked and we couldn't get near the put in or take out so we had to opt for something that none of us had done and as always happens on these types of days we had 45 minutes of daylight. Yellow Creek flows into the Cheoah River. Its the last river on the American Whitewater database of rivers for North Carolina. However we had no idea what we were getting into. We didn't know what the level should be but it looked paddleable. We had no idea how long it would take but we did know that it was short and worst case we would be able to walk out in the dark if all hell broke loose. As it turned out it was a fun short run that takes about 45 minutes. The top 2/3rds is easy peasy, fun and cheesy. The part from the falls down to the Cheoah River is pretty juicy with a nasty sieve and some fun read and run. The Stomper rocked it in this tight and technical environment. Mefford, Adriene, Snowy, and I had a great time. Enjoy the flick. Fast and furious helmet cam love.
Cheers
Shane
