Island Creek

Ran this at 2 ft on the putin guage on 2/22/03. It is definatly a lot more pushy than at 1 ft. The holes are much bigger, and more sticky. There were no strainers that required portaging on our run. However, scouting Compound Fracture required several trips across flowing knee deep water. It is definatly a good level for the creek, but is pushy, and upgrades most of the rapids a step. Still nothing over IV+ in my opinion, but be sure to scout if you have only ran it 1-1.5 feet. There are several blind turns that lead to surprisingly strong holes, of which each member of our party spent at least a little time in. Who says the Blunt isn't a playboat, you should have seem my linked cartwheels!
