Pine Creek, the day after.
A couple of months ago me, and four others traveled to Zion to do Imlay. Unfortunately, we got flooded out and ruled out by the back country desk who would not issue a permit to us due to the "8 hour rule". So we picked up a Pine Creek permit and did it the day after the big flood. We did watch Pine creek flash from normal to crazy at the swimming hole. That was a little spooky. The canyon was still flowing pretty well when we went in so I thought I would post a few pics that my brother Kevin took with a little disposable camera. Hope you enjoy them. I must say that Pine Creek is best done when flowing. What a blast..... But it wasn't no Imlay (stupid permit system )

Great Stuff!!! And on the good side you got to hit the eats and drinks far sooner than if you had done Imlay.

And poor Larry just about disappeared a couple of times in the froth. It was pretty funny watching him swim through the foamy mess. Funny thing was that by the time I went through, there was a clear channel.
As for the noob question. Yes, all the gear was ours. I have issues with renting things that my life depends upon or that Ice's nakid skin may have been in contact with for hours on end (wetsuit) so I just save my shekels and buy the stuff. I guess I am a serious canyoneer but only when I am walking some exposed fin into Heaps. Otherwise, I'm just in it for the fun.Life is Good
