PERSONAL: RIVER: VELVET SNEAK

There is a certain amount of irony to this photo. Lead RMRT Middle Fork guide Fritz Horst is tasked with clearing an oversized timber with an undersized hand saw. In part of his off time, Fritz helps run the family Christmas Tree farm back in Vermont where I assume he works with more adequate eqipment. Who more qualified for the job at hand? Behind Fritz's island is Velvet, a boat flipping rapid at the high water levels that day. Later that season of 2023, there was a blow out that blocked the river all the way to the rock behind where Fritz is standing.
