Your run of the mill night on the Mad. Frigging spectacular evening to be on the water.
The group played out the river pretty hard. The first rapid everyone caught as many eddys as possible - It may have taken 30 minutes to get through elevator shaft. Everything else was fun down to Z-rapid where a few hit multiple eddys on both sides of the rapid and in both steps. John even caught a great mid rapid eddy! The 100b surf wave was surfed up and then it was off to Horseshoe. Everyone who ran it ran it cleanly and all wend down the center avoiding the munch right side.
Washing machine caused some minor problems but most folks eddy hopped their way down it.
THe lower gorge was clean and the last rapid I think every one hiked up for a second shot at it.
Most folks left tired with grins on their faces. Dave, Gerard, Paul and myself stuck around for a speed lap (only catching the "fun eddys") We pulled out in the dark after our race lap and were off for home.
What a great evening to be on water!!!!!!!
