White Salmon: the Farmlands

Hit the Farmlands at just below 4ft on the Husum gauge with Tony Bizone, Joe Stumpfel, and Allen Satcher. This was my first time down, but I can see why they say this is the perfect level for the Farmlands.

Sidewinder is the first big drop on this section:



After some generic Class III-IV rapids, paddlers come to Lava Falls:



Joe Stumpfel making Lava Falls pay (he was a hair right of where he wanted to be, forward to 0:48 for the action, I was too lazy to edit):



Tony Bizone killing it on Lava Falls (he was two hairs left of where he wanted to be):


Off Ramp is the last of the major drops on this section:



I boated well this day, with a flip and snap roll near the undercut on Sidewinder being the lowlight. The more I boat the Riot Magnum 80, the more I like it.
