From: pyranha_massa

My personal best on this was a question was posed by a twenty something woman who was watching me drop Sandstone Falls on the New River in WV.  (by the way its an easy, clean 10-12 ft drop into a deep pool)   After I made the drop in my creeker I paddled back up into the curtain to try to get some enders.  After I made my way back to the boardwalk (its a park) to walk back and do it again, she came up to me and asked  "Why were you trying to paddle up and over the falls?  Isnt that impossible?"            

If any others out there have similar stories please post.
