(I had lost all mine, and my Dad said that was it for me.  ) There were dozens of balls just sitting there tempting me. I took off my shoes and waded over. The current almost knocked me over and the only reason the water wasn't a solid chunk of ice was, it was moving too fast.  After my feet thawed out, I tried to gather up as many balls as I could in my shirt - had no pockets - and managed to drop almost all of them on the wade back, trying to keep my balance. Realized then why the balls were left there.  |
That's awesome! If it was in fact Kokanee Springs, and the water rushed as hard as I remember from a couple years ago, I'll bet you almost got swept away!
