From NewsBreak: Sheriff: Body found in canyon ID'd as James Martin
From Leigh Ann: Today while paddling the Carson we were able to locate one of the men's body( not confirmed yet that it is one of the 2 missing kayakers but fits description). They are working on extraction now. He was caught in a strainer and did not have a pfd. We were able to put an emergency call through to get the local police down to the river to retrieve him. Kept an eye out for his friend on the rest of the run but unable to find anything. At this level I would not call this a class 2 run it has so many strainers and consequences all around if you end up in the water. Rapids weren't to technical it was all the hazards around them. Rumor was neither of the men were wearing pfds.
