Scouting

Beau, Beth, Henry and I hiked in from the bottom to scout the creek.  Beau and I brought boats.  I quickly decided that mine would stay in the truck.  I didn't want to hike it in, and after last weekend's big broach, wanted to check my skills on something a little less tight.  John and Alex had met earlier that morning to run the creek from the top.  We hooked up with them at the bridge above Peelaway.  Robert joined us shortly after that.  Beau put in at the next bridge and ran the rest with John and Alex.  We followed along on the trail, sometimes running ahead to get to a good photo spot.
