There are what's called the emerald pools up river. He miscalculated the flow and got taken down stream. The runoff in the Sierra is extremely high now because of the huge snowpack and warm weather.

Excellent crew coordination on an easy pluck.
I would still be flying if I could do that type of flying again. Nothing better.
