Shortly afterwards we drove a mile up fish creek to find a suitable camp site. Instead we ended up placing our tents at a dead end on the asphalt. With the weather expected to be in the 80's I didn't give much thought to warm clothes. Half way through the night I woke up completely frozen. It made for a pretty miserable night but thankfully we had plenty of alcohol to help us sleep in the less than ideal situation.

The next day we sat along the shore and watched boaters and kayakers alike raced down the rapids and get absolutely demolished. This big hole was causing some major drama for most of the competitors.

There was a big air competition scheduled later in the day but we unfortunately had to leave early. The ramp was about 20 feet long with a 3 foot kicker that ended up being about a good 10 – 15 foot drop. It would have been fun to see.
