Laurel Creek on Friday rocked the party big-time. TONS of runnable ultra-technical boulder water. We only carried 2 or 3 big drops (Captain Crunch was one of them) which all seemed to involve falling 20-30 onto rocks or a must-make flat landing. It was definately the steepest creek that I've run where I didn't have to walk around ANY log-strainers. Just tons of fun. It was also my first experience running the new Prijon Creeker 225 down any longer, technical rapids. That boat is so much fun!
