Last time I made it to Upper Cherry it was very high water preventing us to run the bigger gorges and drops.  Two days ago, however was a different story.  We had low water which was a bit slow for the upper section, but real nice for the bigger stuff.  It&#8217;s hard to imagine this place, but I have several pics here for yinz. Keep posted for a video from Upper Cherry and the Middle Fork of the Kings which we will be making our way into on Saturday.  This one is going to be a hell of an ass kicker, 15 miles hiking, 30 some kayaking and top it off with a 2 mile hike out.
