| Report: | | The Carroll Creek wasn’t even on our list of possibilities to paddle on this weekend, but after getting an email from Andy Shaw telling me that the water level was up, we quickly changed our plans. We had great fun playing in the rapids, exploring a cave, and taking a hike up a wonderful side canyon. Merri and I want to thank everyone who came out to paddle with us and especially those who helped with the car shuttle, Richard and Tracey.
