CountyLine Creek from a Different Perspective


Two days paddling Countyline Creek. It had rained all day Wednesday and the rivers rebounded quickly after the prior week of rain.  That evening we hiked into CLC and one thing for sure the water was rising not falling. We hopped on at a nice medium level. There were not many rocks exposed yet the water was not that pushy. It was a quick run out and there wasn’t time to take video or pictures.
The next morning (Happy Cinco De Mayo!) my plan was to get out early. The rivers had crested during the night and the levels were dropping fast. The trees had started budding and they were sucking up water. I got a late call from a friend who wanted to paddle and that delayed getting to the put in a couple hours. On the hike in we could see a water line and confirmed the creek was on the way down.  Instead of trying to capture still shots or video I mounted the Go-Pro aft facing and just started paddling. Although the level had dropped four to six inches overnight it was still a decent level.
