Description
The following video shows a good sampling of this run. We normally would not feature video of recreational kayakers paddling without wearing life jackets (PFDs), however we will note that this creek (at most paddleable flows) is generally shallow and easy enough to stand up and walk out of, so it is a minor enough offense we will let it pass, in the spirit of "It's all good fun." And, we will note that they all appeared to have PFDs "readily accesible", which is all the state law specifies. Additionally, the date noted on the trip was July 7, so air and water temperatures were quite fine. Flows at the time of this video would likely have been falling from about 200 cfs down to about 150 cfs.
