#19 Clear Creek (Blackrock)

Mr. Bill

I met up with Ian and Texas Ken who have seemed to have become regulars on this adventure, at Kermits for a nice long run of Upper Clear Creek, Black Rock, and Lower Clear Creek.

The flow was between 1000cfs to 1050cfs and was awesome. Big water=big waves=big holes=big fun. Everything went perfectly and was fast and pretty clean for this blast rock creek. We got to the Narrows and I soloed Mr. Bill and it was like butter, no margarine, no Parkay, strictly butter. It was not good looking with most of the hole looking sticky and re-circing back into a wall,cave, undercut? The right looked like it could catch you or typewriter you back to the left.

We all walked Rigo which looked the same just very, very fast.

Tom Cole was there to do an interview for 9news which is about as famous as I am going to get. I really appreciate tom taking so much time on his day off to support this. Hopefully it helps bring in some donations. I will try to embed the video on here.

Here is the news story in case you were not sitting around the boob tube at ten:




When we got done in Golden it stormed super hard. Some of the hardest rain I can remember.
