Today we decided to take a "day off" and do a light run. We got in very late last night and this morning we felt very worn out. We thought it would be better to wait and do Baily, which is at high water, when we were feeling 100%. Unfortunately our light day ended up being a 15 mile paddle through class IV read and run water. Ugh! I thought we were doing a short section, but must have remembered wrong. We ended up hooking up with Ian again and paddling all three sections of the "Upper" Clear Creek. It was a fun day. I really like the Upper Clear Creek Section a lot. Not much to note other than....IT WAS 15 MILES!!!!!!!
Before we put on today we got word that Oh Be Joyful was running at a good medium level and the roads were open. Ian, Edgar and I spoke on the river and decided to head to Crested Butte to paddle tomorrow. Ian will have to leave Wednesday, but I think Edgar and I will stay for a week or so and hit some other runs as well.
I am super tired and worn out so I am going to finish my laundry, try to get a good night's sleep and rest up for a big day tomorrow!!!

too bad you did not paddle Shoshone, Barrel Springs or the Crystal, they are going off right now, much more fun than Slaughter House.
