ok, its been awhile. my life's been really busy doing important things. so about spring creek. we put in our canoes around 10:30, about 5 sec after putting peter's canoe in it starts leaking. haha fun. and we go down the creek for an hour + 1/2 and decide to take peter's canoe back cuz it becoming a big problem. and we continue down the creek with to many people in 1 canoe. and eventually decide to have 2 people walk on the bank with 2 people in the canoe. spring creek is the nastiest creek ive ever seen. every time there was a log across the creek (which was about every 50') there was a pile of trash and junk along with silvery haze all over the top of the water. nasty nasty!!! so yea the original plan was to canoe 6 mi. from 249 to 2978 but around 6:00 PM!!! were just over halfway. we stopped at a train bridge. so for about 30 min were talking to my mom about how to get out of the stupid creek. and my mom informs us that 3 mi. south down the track there is a road about 100' off the track. so we start hauling the canoe down the track. when weve gone about 300' feet my mom calls back and tells us to go north. and we begin going north. about 100' past the bridge (btw to get to the top of the bridge we had to haul the canoe 50' up a 45 deg. slope of crushed granite) we see a road crossing pretty far up ahead so we got kinda excited and began hauling the canoe down the track. about 1/3 of the way there a train comes and theres about 6' of room from the track to dense brush/thorns. so we were about 5' feet from the track when it passes. nothing else really happened except that we pulled the canoe about a mile down the track to were the rescuers were waiting. which was around 7:30. yea it was great fun, i totally recemend (sp?) to all of yall doing it. we also flipped the canoe 1ce. but that was because we had to many people in the canoe. wow long post.

it was fun i'm glad you threw in the part about you flippping us!! hhahahahahaha and the dumb little kids playing in the creek haha
Peter, what possessed you to get up at 5:45AM!?!
Jaron, that sounded like a blast! Spring Creek is pretty nasty...If you did it again, would you suffer the filth or go out of your way to find a nicer creek?
I think it's safe to say he would definately find a nicer creek. We need to kayak up the coast.
Jaron, the canoe flipped because YOU were fraking out cause you thought we were gunna canoe away without YOU! But we weren't and when you jump out after us to find that the water was up to your waist YOU freaked out and unwittingly tried to climb into the canoe without proper stablelization, thus capsizing our boat and us. Thanks to YOU!
Just thought I'd fill ya'll in on the REAL story. There was no WE in the flipping the canoe.
:D I see.
the canoe flipped because of an overload of people. which is due to a poor leak repair job by Mr. i won't his name!
