We managed to wrestle up a shuttle from Aaron koch at Kayak Huesteca. Aaron dropped us off at the put in late night and drove off assuring us our truck would be waiting for us at the take out. Cascade de Tamul. We packed for four days on the river plus the epic climb out of the sketchy ladders at the waterfall. (camp 1 at the put in)
The last time I ran the Verde A few brave souls hucked the first drop roughly in the forty foot. It was lower this year and looked sketchy. We opted for the repel and jump portage option. Ben stone works his way down the Basalt formed waterfall.
Poised for the golden stroke Toby boofing the 2nd drop of the river.
John Shannon watches as Toby runs the 3rd drop of the Verde.
We opted to walk this one. I reckon its pretty darn close to hundred feet. There she is young guns still there for the taking. Do before your parents insurance runs out!
Ben below the mega waterfall
The third canyon has rarley been run due to sketchy beta from the old guide book. Its good to go but rest ashurd there is very little good kayaking in there but at least you get to paddle down to the Santa Tereasa Confluence.
