Elkhorn Creek 600cfs
I ran the Elkhorn today with the Vikings and had a really good time. I had forgotten how much fun the Elkhorn can be even at low water. I did a bunch of surfing wherever it was to be had and the weather was perfect. The water was even warm. Makes me glad that winter is long gone. You guys have got to get on the water with me some time.
Rockcastle River
800cfs
On Saturday, Josh and I
along with a large group of Vikings ran the
Rockcastle river. The weather was extraordinary and
the water level was at a very fun level of 800cfs.
This made for bigger whitewater on the run and linked
up the rapids. Rapids 01 and 02 become one rapid and
03 and 04 another. The biggest rapids in the Lower
Narrows was kind of like running what I am calling
the "medium three", similar to the big three on the
Big South Fork.
The Rockcastle is always fun. And I have the pictures to prove it!
Texas Holdem Fundraiser
I want to thank everyone who came out for the Texas Holdem tournament on Saturday night. It was a huge success, bringing in $800 for the Bardstown Whitewater Park fund. Better yet, we were able to spread the word for the upcoming Paddle Pickup to a whole new group of people. We'll look forward to seeing you all this June 9th at the Beech Fork.
The last two players of tournament ended up splitting the winnings when they had an even chip count.
Plum Creek
1.5ft - 2ft
I love running the Plum. That is a great little run, so close to home. Bring your play boat for that one.
