Hey, you're just a big wimp!!!! Man, I have floated the Oxbow and the canyon rapids in my old trusty float tube......LOL. It's not that bad, it's just tricky. I've done alot harder whitewater. Think that was bad, ask Bob about the upper Duc or try the boulder drop on the Sky (did it in my 9ft Steelheader). First BIG mistake is taking an Outcast through it, even if it was the better PAC 900. Only an experienced oarsman should attempt either in a PAC. Hit those raves just right and you'd flipped it. Their hulls just can't track whitewater like a continous curve hull will. Those rocker hulls just rock too much.

You know, they need a shuttle service on the Hoh, or is there one already???? I hate having to bring chasers and I WON'T ride a bike up the upper Hoh road!!!!! After a day on the oars that's the last thing I want to do.

You're right, you can put a cataraft in alot different places then a driftboat. It's a definite bonus.
