Local Creeks, November and December, 2008 page 2 of 4

The same waves a day later, at about 2200 cfs at Mount Marion. At least the eddy service is a bit better.

This one didn't suffer as much as the other two.

This one could definitely use a bit more water. At least there's some good side surfing, if you want it, along with good eddy service. Maybe a chance to practice getting out of a sticky hole, too.

Definitely want to stay left or right here.

A lot of that frothy stuff is flowing upstream.

The next ledge downstream. Notice the rock a few feet out from the left. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Here's a closer view of that rock. You *really* wouldn't want to hit that. Another view, at low water (opens in a new window).
