Little Eastoe Jan. 2, 2006

Ran the Little Eastoe after some hard rain. Its a good short run with lots of action with 180 fpm but the run is only 1/3 of a mile if your taking out at longshoals park. It has fairly clean bedrock rapids. The first rapid is Chelie III and I ran it middle. The next rapid is Face Crusher III which I ran middle also. The 3rd rapid is Truck Stop IV which is ran in the only clear channel which is two realy fast s-turns there maybe micro eddy at the end of the rapid but usualy not. In this rapid there are many piton rocks and pillows off those rocks that you'll have to bank off of. The channel is only about 5 ft wide here. Between the bottom of this rapid and the next there may not be any eddys. The next rapid is Green Wave IV which is a realy fast slide with most of the water slaming into a RL undercut. This rapid is either run on the RL undercut's pillow or RR using waves to push you away from the undercut. This slide ends in a good sized hole.
