Clear Creek

Put in at Barnett bridge and took out at Lilly bridge. Water was running at 1,000 cfs. Perfect conditions for the canoes. Trip was 61/2 miles and it took us 41/2 hours. Sam and Tommy paddled the Mini Max on their own and did great. We had 2 canoes, 1 Mini Max and the Avon Ranger. Tommy fell out of Mini Max on the last rapid just before takeout while paddling with Sam, Murphy rescued him. Take out was a little tough for the large Avon.
