Canyon Creek never gets old

Tuesday. With the level 3-4 inches below the unit (around 800cfs), Robbie V., Ty, Eli L., and I had a sweet run after work on Canyon Creek. Since I may not be able to get a run in on Friday (due to Northwest Creeking Competition 2008 organizing/preparations), I was glad to get a weekday run in before the weekend. Still paddling the Prijon Hercules, and loving it more as I get used to it.

The weather forecast for the race is looking sweet, indeed! 70+ degree weather should bring some snowmelt to sustain the creek's flow at an acceptable level, and the water should be clear and cold. We've got Hopworks kegs lined up for the party, and everything else is coming together for a great weekend.

I spoke with Ernie, The Plastic Mechanic, by phone today. He's going to contact me tomorrow about receiving my boat and making a repair that should hold up to the punishment of Northwest creeking...
