Zack Sam Thanks Zack! 🤗

So how was the trip? Hoping it was even better than you expected.

You are correct! It used to be a nasty class V+ until a river guide dynamited it to make is “safer”.

@lerpone Yeah, since my previous post, I read all about it. It happened in late 1993 but was not discovered until early 1994. Apparently, there were 8 total people involved but two "ringleaders". The 6 minor actors plea bargained their way out of any jail time by agreeing to testify against the ringleaders. One of the ringleaders served a little over a year in jail/prison and paid a substantial fine, but the other one managed to escape to Australia while out on bail by using a phony passport. He was eventually caught in Australia and extradited to the US and ended up serving about 3 years in prison and paying a very large fine, much larger than the other main actor. I am sure a lot of river runners and commercial raft guides quietly thanked these guys, though, as apparently Quartzite was a very dangerous rapid prior to the alteration and also very difficult and time-consuming to line or portage, especially for rafters on multi-day trips with lots of gear.
