russell fork detour to manns

thanks to work being slow,i was abail to join kyle for a three day trip to the russell fork.
on our way south ,we got an invite from john  to join him on Manns  creek.After quick decision making we went  Keeney creek[take out of Manns]to meet up with john.then,On our way to babcock state park,.after scouting  grist mills falls at the put in,we all had great lines over the falls,which was good my confidence,sense my nerves were ramped up,to say the least.This creek is not for the weak of heart.Manns was full of blind drops and boofs everywhere.john did a great job guiding us down,i can't imagine being able to remember all those lines ,we made it to the new river in two and 1/2 hour,to paddle the new in the dark .this may be the best run in West Virgina.
sat. and sun.were spent with great people and whitewater at the Russell fork
