Steep creek packraftin

Holy hell this was fun! Went with mostly kayakers (Julien, Caleb, Cyril) and a yaker/packrafter in an Alpacka Valkryie (Trent) who'd done this many times, as well as local Arroyo Seco expert and riverboarder Ross and traveling nurse Dayne. This was my first time doing a steep creek Class IV run in my packraft and it was an all-timer for me. Mucho Cajones was terrifying to scout and I thought I'd never run it; Trent convinced me to do it with a low brace and I stayed afloat!
