Run:  Boulder Creek (Elephant Buttress to Scott Carpenter Park)

Flow:  ~250 cfs

Class:  IV/III

Temperature:  60 or 70 ?

Buddies:  Chadwick Shoults, Nick Lamb, Fello

Description:  After work run down Boulder Creek.  Nick and Chadwick started at the top of the park, and Fello and I ran down from Elephant Buttress.  The section below Elephant Buttress was challenging, but there were no real holes to avoid or anything serious to worry about.  The park was fun, but the holes were all steep and sticky.  The rest of the run was pretty standard, but still fun.

Carnage:  Chadwick had a little swim at the “Widowmaker” hole by the rope swing.  Nothing serious, it seems like he just forgot how to roll for a split second.
