Description

House rapid is behind the house on the road up, and is often where people put-in.  Though people used to run the left, after the floods a few years back, the flow has been pushed over to the right side.  The rapid is a large slide into a giant boulder which splits the flow.  Some water goes left down a manky ledge, a little water goes under the rock, and most of the flow goes out right down another, smaller slide.  The bottom of this slide has a hole that tends to keep people who mess up on the upper part of the rapid.  If you keep your bow right throughout the rapid, without drying out on the rock, you should have a great start to the trip down the Sawyer.
