Kolob Creek (Canyon)

[Iceaxe]

1)If I get a lottery spot for the Subway, I was planning on Russel Gulch over Das Boot, tell me to switch it and I will. Since we will all have wetsuits/drysuits for the trip anyways, I guess we might as well do das boot.

On the canyon awesome scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best.

Russel Gulch is a 2
Das Boot is a 9

YMMV

I've never once called the water district, but that's mostly since back in the day they never gave you a straight answer anyways. I've always looked at the dam and the bridge. In my experience it's always way less than you see at the bridge. It's a pretty simple hike into the top of Kolob to check it right there at the first drop. Though I will say that the first time we did it I would say it was about 4cfs and I thought that was a lot of water in there. Doesn't take much more than that to be pretty scary.

"Affect" is usually the verb, and, effect is usually a noun. But, there are cases where "effect" can be used as a verb.

effect verb: to achieve something and cause it to happen

bien sur! and in this case, "affects" is correct and "effects" is incorrect. I only mention it 'cuz i know Senor Jones has a profound appreciation for le mot juste...

Does that mean doing Kolob Canyon on the "non-park" side without the administrative hassles of the permit process? Not that anyone does that any more of course.

I'm always very careful to stay on the north side of the canyon.

And I appreciate the appreciation, Hank. I DID have a rule for that, which was just plain wrong. I am happy to have improved my Inglish.

'preciate ya.

For the record, poison creek is not class c, not in the least bit.

Isn't there an internet law out there, that Trolls and Compleat Idiots are impossible to tell apart? Maybe Gandalf's law?

It's called Poe's Law
