And yet, there were people, including a few little tinies, in that water like it was 90 degree outside (it was about 65) and 70 degrees in the wet. That water couldn't have been more than 45 degrees and I am being generous. Brrrrrrrrr!

I was up there earlier this summer, in mid-July. The water was not quite warm, but it was warmer than I have ever felt that river to be. It was actually pretty nice. I would imagine the rain chilled it off quite a bit. It washed all the warm water downstream.
