SOCK 'EM "DOUG"

(click pic to enlarge)
SLAM DUNK! I love this series of pictures as I get tackled during a rapid called "Sock 'em Dog" on the Chattooga River. Maybe it should be called "Sock 'em DOUG"!

One of the students from PPHS gets launched from the raft and takes me out with her. This happened a couple of weeks ago on the FCD/PPHS Adventure Trip. We had a blast!

On a sad note... the next day a Nashville man died only a few feet away after his raft flipped and he got lodged in the rocks leading into this rapid (it was the first death on the river since 2003). You can read the story here.
