warning Black Water Falls 1st. Decent New

If you don't live your dreams.... Why live at all? This is a clean 57ft. illegal waterfall that has never been run(to most peoples understanding). 20 years ago one of my mentors John Regan set up the agreement that if anyone were to run the falls kayaking would be banned in the state park. Twenty years ago these guys Roger Zbel, Jeff Snider, John Regan were running the Upper B at 1000CFS! HUGE, before the big flood. They were running it in fiber glass boats pushing the realm of whitewater kayaking.  Times have changed and big waterfall drops are the new way for young bucks to showcase there skills, balls and just how Nuts they really are. Here is my question. Do you think if some young punk comes from out of town to run the B... sees the falls and hucks it, Should the local kayaking community be punished for one persons action. Or do you think maybe a new fine could be instated for the individual. Now i have scouted the falls and think it is good to go! Its a local waterfall and one that is on my radar. I dont want to piss off the community and have the upper B band either. Remember when black people were supposed to sit in the back of the bus, and this little old lady named Rosa Parks sat in the front. Well she broke the Law, and eventually the law evolved. Did you know one of are founding fathers Benjamin Franklin when he was 84 years old he was engaged to a 17 year old Babe! well.... some people know how to live the dream
