Metlako Falls=Warm-up

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Ian Garcia and Tyler Bradt, both from Montana, came to Hood River to run big waterfalls.  Our first day was stout, Ian and Tyler decided to warm-up on  Metlako Falls on Eagle Creek.  I think this was the 6th and 7th descent of this falls if you count the innertube descent.  They both styled the drop with only a slightly sore neck to show for it.  Looks like this week is gonna be good.

Ian and Tyler where really afraid.

Looking at 80 feet down the tube, notice how small Tyler looks sitting in the eddy below.
