Description
" It wasn't until I heard the terms '650 ft/mile' and 'good to go' in the same sentence that my eyes lit right up!" "Ever run a 350 ft. long slide?"    So asks Matthew Gontram in the Jan/Feb, 2001, issue of _American Whitewater._   Some amazing pictures in that story, too. More descriptions and photos of this run can be found on several excellent webpages and blogs. See: Dreamflows, Ca-Creeks, Kim and Geoff Kayak559.com  photos For a video of this run from Bobby Miller's 2005 trip, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxxQ8UWXGbY  South Silver runs from 5:36 to 6:54.
