Typical GDL things said on the Upper Animas:
*Why is it called "10 mile"? Maybe because it's at mile 10...?
*[At mile 4] this is 10 mile, guys!
*No Name isn't till tomorrow
*[2 hours later, after coming upon No Name with no preparation or time to scout and running the rapid blind] by the way, that was No Name
*The line at Broken Bridge? Just don't go right 🤷🏼‍♀️
*What's the Rockwood Box like? It's fine. Go right at Mandatory Thrashing, paddle through 5 or 6 more rapids, then takeout on the right. Big white sign, can't miss it. Oh, and the hike out f-ing sucks.
*See? That hike out f-ing sucked!
