Northern Sampler...
The Green was still running so seemed like the logical thing to get the day started. My group from Saturday met up with Ingram, Worth and Dolan. Time to get it on and 4 of us fired up Moonshine (my first go at it). Three of us cleaned it and one went deep with no boof - surprisingly hitting nothing. The group worked and poked our way down through the rapids walking The ice locked Young Buck and all firing off of Humble pie. The remainder of the run went well also with no incident, lost gear or swims. The level was up around 2'4". Its amazing what two inches in the gauge for that river will do. It was still silly low, but much more forgiving from the rocky nonsense.
Next Jason, Dan and I scoped out Waterman's to see the level (too low), so we beat feet to the NBL slides and had a quick run of them. Low level, but fluid, made for a nice splash in the sun.
Headed back to Montpelier, I wanted to check to see if the NBW was up and running.....BINGO it was at bare minimum and was mildly constricted with ice, so the lines were fluid. We picked off the season opener on the NBW. It was unreal how much snow was still on the ground in there and just how damn pretty that run is dressed in whites.
