Who: Solid intermediate boaters who are comfortable on class III+ with a combat roll and an adventurous attitude. Experienced creekers who are willing to help with safety/guidance, would be much appreciated as well. I have been in contact with several of my normal creekin' friends who have agreed to help out. I'll keep a subsequent post updated with all of those that have RSVP'd. Attendees acknowledge that they are solely responsible for their decisions and the outcome of their actions.
