Re: cheat_training_group Lock 6 - Snapping Turtle

My fav Tom-ism when scouting a nasty looking rapid, " Yea, I think
that you can probably make that move". Nothing inspires confidence
like Tom thinking your chances are about 50-50, when looking into a
rapid with some name like "widow maker" (in quebec somewhere...and,
yes, I decided to walk it when we scouted and saw the brass plate
commemorating a kayaker's death on that rapid).
