Typical Gihon Run with a newbie...  Hugh had never boated the Gihon so Chris and I gave verbal instructions and headed over the dam.  Hugh landed in the pool 35 feet below with a HUGE GRIN!  All of the other rapids went well... They were MEATY and fast.  We all looked long and hard at Mustang, but ultimately walked away.

The lower part went well with Bedhead being slightly retentive.  Pin cushion was skyballs and Powewrhouse was fluid!

We ended the run in town below the Studio Center....  It was snowing by the end of the run - A welcome sign that Winter was finally here and 60 degree December days were behind us.  Little did we know.........
