Tumblehome

Tumblehome:
There are a few different ways to run Tumblehome. From the eddy after 3rd drop look downstream and to the river right, you will see: A dry boulder, with a wet boulder about 10 feet immediately downstream, a few holes, a bunch of funny water. You want to ferry almost all the way across the river, moving between the dry boulder, and the wet, gnarly-looking boulder(s). You'll have to avoid some small holes, but nothing too serious. The ferry will dump you into a whole lot of funny water, with some holes that surge, and some neat waves. If you need a break, keep ferrying to the river right and hop in the eddy. Assuming you don't eddy out on the right, you'll want to start moving back left, looking for a big slot in the middle of the river. Again a word of caution: it is the big (6 feet wide) slot on your left, not the smaller center slot. The small slot is an advanced move; a sideways pin here would not be good. Again, you're avoiding some holes and such. The main slot is fun. It's about 6-8 feet wide, and offers no real consequences, so it's time to let loose.

The rock on the left side of the slot offers great rock spins, swipes, and meltdowns. You can also wavewheel down the slot. Just make sure you hit the bottom of the drop dead vertical. You'll go deep and hopefully, get sucked down by one of the whirlpools. As you float calmly downstream, be sure to turn around and look back. It's the best view of Tumblehome, and it's really quite beautiful.

Conestoga Wagon: As the next large rapids below Tumblehome, this two-drop rapid is marked by a wagon looking rock on the left. A dangerous ledge on the right side includes a bad hole on the far right and a deadly undercut slot towards the middle end. There have been one drowning and several near misses in this slot--and several bad recirculations in the far right hole.
