Highs and Lows

11/26/2011

 
Keen to make the most of having the truck we headed out in search of more whitewater, and found the Rio Maichin.
Picture
Nice read and run bouldery grade IV with this harder rapid near the start, the Maichin was just what we wanted - leaving us feeling comfortable in the boats and ready for something a bit bigger.

Unfortunately some pikey scum did their best to ruin our day, as we woke up to find the window of the truck smashed in. Amongst the kit lost was all my camera equipment - fortunately I had just backed up all my photos, but am now without my DLSR for the rest of our time in Chile. I've picked up a mediocre bridge camera, in the hope that I can manage to grab a few OK shots of the rest of the trip, and will be borrowing Nigels DSLR as and when I can!

We'd heard conflicting reports on the levels of the Rio Nevado, so were pleased to discover there was plenty of water in it, as we just about managed to scout our way through the steep gorge.

Later in the year, there's a boater X on the Upper Rio Palguin, so we headed up to check out this short waterfall run and have some beer and a BBQ with Ben who has the best located house in the world - right above the river.
