Description

After a classic Heinzerling move in the center, and a banking tongue off the right wall, the river straightens out into a busy entrance to Weirdo, the most fun rapid on Richland Creek.  Here the creek drops down through a chasm with a LARGE hole in the center right, and a long finger on the left.  Stay left on the entrance and maintain that down the finger to stay out of the hole.  The bottom is fast and flushy, and after one more boulder rapid lies a final shoulder boof before taking out at the Laurel Snow Pocket Wilderness parking area.
