We broke camp and went right into the first rapid:
Rhodes Rhodila - First rapid right after camp, Class V rafting, IV+ in kayak, Ben ran upsidedown, good boof on left, Andy ran right down gut. I fucked it up badly but was fine down left sievey line. Emily had gnarly swim, ouch. Hurt left knee landing on rocks in main drop. Gian Marco got her with a bag and Andy with kayak. Probably the biggest single rapid on the river.
Below Emily's rapid we cruised to lunch quickly, breaking for lunch at the Shower of the Condors, an impressive cascade coming down on river left. We ate lunch on the right below the shower, arnicaed Emily's knee, and layed in the sun.
We camped at a sweet camp on the right amongst huge boulders. Big open canyon with lots of rocks. We lost some stuff amonst the rocks because they had lots of gaps and if you dropped stuff, it would fall 5 feet down. We could hear the river running far below us. Drew and I swam the rapids above camp and Gian Marco went with his mask looking for crawdads. There were some perfect rock seats and the camp was spectacualar view of the canyon. A great camp and great night.
