okey dude.. shut up your postes are pointless. you are arguing with me about a creek you know nothing about.
the whole reason i choose to run this creek wasn't for the first d because i have run it 3 weekends in a row now, its because i don't have to drive over 2 hours anymore to get on a decent creek i only have to drive 35 minutes. peace.

the close-up of the loaf ,V+ this is close up of the picture above which was taken from the look out.

dungball V+ tight move. hole is exiting water through the undercut between the 2 rocks you see on the bottom of the pic, super tight must make move

not a V- run as others have stated.
It's hard to tell with the pictures, but what makes loaf a 5+ rapid?

Cool looking pics CasperMike. That run looks better with more flow.
Still over my head for sure. Don't know if it is class V- or V+, doesn't matter to me, I know I would be walking those two rapids.

But for arguments sake, why not just call it class V?

ps. I am starting to think GAtoCSU is the douchebag here.

I am being a douche bag on this thread since he can't read very well.

here's the low water pic
why its important to know everything not just what you see......

the rock is obvious..... this is also a curtain so there is space between the water coming down and the back of the drop which isn't a place you want to be. you can't set any safety up for the direction you want to pull them out of the hole incase of a swim. lots of speed would be needed to make the super right move but more than likely the huge boil before the lip would push you so far left directly into the spot you don't want to be

If it is V+ they'll feature the one and only CasperMike in the next Hotel Charley...

Maybe we should all shut up and go paddle. Is it running this weekend? Is it 3 hours to the river from the Fort?

it's at 250 cfs and with the rain you better grab your nuts i don't think it will be very much fun more like extremely scary for a little creek bed. rain is only going to make it better i bet i could be 325 cfs this weekend but 250 is probably going to be the minimum for this weekend......

ohhh wait unless you know my buddy luke good look finding somebody with the lines because you shouldn't need somebody to lead you down a easy 5 right.

peaked yesterday over 300 cfs i think it could get up to 750 cfs this year
