Idaho Road Trip II: MF Payette
After our warm up lap on the Cabarton run, we were excited about seeing something a little more creeky. We headed up to the MF Payette looking for a ledgy class IV run described in Idaho the Whitewater State. The drive up to the takeout had some roadside mank that was borderline runnable.

Roadside mank.
After reaching the takeout and finding a low but runnable level and a nice exit drop, we were stoked. We headed up the road, with an eye to scout.

Typical MF boogie. [SR]
Unfortunately, our road scout revealed nothing but log-choked drops. Although some had portage routes, no one knew the run and the group decided to run a mellower III run in the area.
