Afterwork -3" Wilson Creek Run

The lower T.O.:

Gaston and I had a good run.

2 Runs on Wilson Creek, the First one at Dusk and the Second by Moonlight

Gaston, Johnny and I met at the lower take out a little after 5:00 p.m. We did one run and Johnny had to go. He helped Gaston and I run shuttle and we got one more run by moonlight. I've done plent of runs at dusk but this was my third Wilson Creek moonlight run. What a blast it is paddling with only the moonlight to light the way. The gage was at +1" but it felt all of +2". A great level for a moonlight run.
