Eagle Creek


As  I began my hike I was not expecting such a long one.  But I was determained to make my way up to the top no matter how often I had to rest.   When I finally got to the top My under layers were soaked.  I hiked down and paddled too the pool below Punchbowl.  watching a variety of lines that all looked clean, but still people coming up with a bloody nose, and one face slam short of bloody nose.  I was happy with my decision to skip the first drop.  We made our way down to the pool above Metlako.  Once I was in the pool I wasn't motavated to scout, due to my mindset that I was going to react the same way regardless of the outcome of breaking away.  Chase went first, I next, then followed by Logan, then John. Chase, Logan, and I all chucked our paddles. John held onto his and it broke on impact.  Everyone ear to ear with smiles at the bottom established the fact that we were all stoked as could be with the Winning that had just occurred.

Great line

Chase Nobles was kind enough to throw together some footage of the last few days of our mission.  Here is a link to the  Video
